decay / close-up

[rike_tikki_tavi]

New member. Hello everybody.

So decay. These are windows in typical Berlin pre-war apartment buildings, right side renovated and pretty, left side not so much.





I think this was the entrance to a club or bar once. I just liked the cable drum next to it.





A blowfly on a piece of rusted metal. Which I guess could also fit decay. I wish I could have gotten a bit closer to the fly, but I didn't think it would wait for me to swap in the bigger zoom lens



And last but not least a honey bee on red currant blossoms.

I love the contrast between the two buildings. Great shot, esp with the satellite dish on the run down building.

Love the shots of the fly and bee.

Thank you. Insect pictures are fun. I've spent many hours stalking butterflies and bumblebees in my dad's garden this spring.

I saw those buildings on the way to the video store yesterday and then they announced the new apertures this morning and it just fit perfectly.

That first one is really brilliant and I love the door in the second.

Thank you. This is my first SLR and the things it does are just fantastic.

I really like the second picture, it's a fascinating spot. And the pictures of the fly and the bee are so cool.

Thank you.

I'm absolutely fascinated by the contrasts in the first shot!

Yay for bureaucracy, which will perversely have some listed buildings falling down right around the tenants ears because it's just to expensive to fix them up in accordance with the conservation provisions and thus we are provided with interesting photo opportunities.
