I think we all have areas like this, hidden away.
Quite depressing feel about it.

Definitely has a sense of foreboding...makes a good b&w. – Racine

The processing works perfectly for your message here!

There's something dark and brooding about this wonderful shot, especially if you compare and contrast with the linked Irvine website...post-apocalyptic is perhaps too strong, but there's definitely a sense of sinsterness and bad here...like it Gary, really like it!

Dreams build on sand! another bubble?

Another image with real "edge" to it. Those pylons disappearing into the mist add a slight touch of menace.

Looks kinda creepy. I think I went by there. I drove around into a lot of "areas" that no one else usually bothers with when going through cities. A different view than most see, that's for sure.

You've created mystery!

I believe that every town has this type of background scene. Neat POV.

Cool processing with the vignette-blur!

Nice dreamy (or nightmarish) PS touches.

Nice LOW LOW POV, blurred edges and gritty contrast add a lot to your image! Excellent presentation!
