Abandoned Mill Building, Okehampton

Tuesday 21st June - Day 185

Shouldnt I have been up with the druids at dawn today.... yeah, right! I admit if I had been up then the sun wouldn't have emerged anyway.

In the same area as yesterdays photo, I was looking for details in some of the buildings, and noticed these purple flowers sprouting near to a drain. They lifted the almost monotonesin the wall and window.

This is beautiful. The spray of purple completes this image! :)

Lovely colours and textures!
I agree, the purple flowers add to the overall.

You've got some very appealing abandoned building shots,Lee. I can't find anything around here.
There are so many different colors and textures in the image,I can sit and it'll entertain me for quite awhile.

the colours and textures are wonderful, Lee.

Okay, Lee...woke up this a.m. turned on the TV and saw a news piece about the huge crowd of people gathered for the solstice sunrise over Stonehenge...looked really hard for a red beard and a D70:) Looks like you were somewhere else though this a.m.!

Very nice composition. Love the splash of color in the bottom corner. Well done!
Guest 21-Jun-2005 21:52
You got my vote. Very nice composition and colors. Well done.

Very good composition, strong colours and excellent detail in the stonework. The purple flowers add a nice touch and balance the composition.

All the textures are great but the little purple flower softens the image...lovely. HMV

Very nice textures in this, like the composition as well, looks like an interesting place.

Great texture and color.

This image is fabulous. The purple is lovely and so are the orange/red and browns. Amazing to find such beauty in abandonment.

Lovely photo. The colors of the stonework in this are amazing and each piece is a different size and shape. The flowers give it majesty.
