Reclaiming Series - First Photos







I talked about the theme of nature prevailing in the urban landscape in my second idea post. I've decided to call this series "Reclaiming". Here's I posted some pictures from Great Shiplock Park in Shockoe Bottom. This historic landmark is an abandoned industrial construction and the area has decayed greatly as nature reclaims its territory. I find it eerie to see this decaying in the foreground with our current city shown up ahead in the distance.

Nice image-photo and great subject - reclamation is an often discussed topic in the world of earth art, esp. since Smithson's Passaic NJ travelogue. I love this park for the same reasons ...
