WIST Quotations

A quotation from Aldiss, Brian:

«
When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them. They show us the state of our decay.

Former House / Inn, Highbridge

A very small hamlet in the Highlands, next door to Spean Bridge, Highbridge is the site of the first action of the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Highbridge Skirmish.

This old post-mediaeval lime-mortar rubble/stone-built cottage with a corrugated tin roof is believed to have been an inn in General Wade's time.

Ein altes verfallenes Holzboot  liegt an einem See, in dem zurzeit der Aufnahme Ebbe herrscht. Der Boden ist braun-grün und mit Gräsern bedeckt. Im Hintergrund sind Berge zu sehen, die ebenfalls braun-grün wirken. Graue Wolken ziehen über den Himmel. 

An old dilapidated wooden boat lies on a lake where the tide is low at the time the photo is taken. The ground is brown-green and covered with grasses. In the background you can see mountains that also appear brown-green. Gray clouds move across the sky.

A black and white, long exposure photograph of a long abandoned wooden fishing boat on the shore at St Cyrus in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The photograph shows the stern of the boat with propellor and rudder, which is coming away from the main body.

It's such a fine line, between cheese and mold.

(In the voices of Michael McKean and Christopher Guest from Spın̈al Tap saying "It's such a fine line between stupid and, uh..." "Clever." "Yeah, and clever.")

Pile of Rubble: Polmaise Castle, Cambusbarron, Stirling

Built in 1865, Polmaise Castle only lasted a century before being blown up by the army due to its state of disrepair.

The sole remains of the property are a large pile of rubble maybe 50m long in a clearing - occasional glimpses of angular stone blocks and roof beams sticking out at rakish angles.

Prints etc: https://shiny.photo/gallery/polmaise-castle

Large metal gas station slash family restaurant  sign held up by two thick poles. The place is abandoned and the sign is in disrepair. Peeling paint and rust. Old Marathon sign haphazardly covered with a slapped on Sunco banner. Below this it reads "americana family restaurant, barbecue cooking". Pole lights shoot off the sign to illuminate. Above the sign is the top part of a bent metal street light that runs horizontally top frame. The sky is mostly cloudy.

The Pt. Reyes Muted

I love playing with this particular subject. The boat has been slowing deteriorating for as long as I can remember. I first shot this boat a few years ago and tend to stop every time I go out to Point Reyes.
This is a selective color image but I left enough original white on the boat to catch your eyey and pull you in. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-pt-reyes-muted-bill-gallagher.html #ThePtReyesMuted #BillGallagherPhotography #ThePtReyes #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #shipwreck #decay

The Pt Reyes Muted

This image is a selective color image of the Pt Reyes. The Pt Reyes is an old fisihng vessel that broke loose from it's pilling during a laege storm off of the Pacific Ocean. 
The boat came to rest on a sand bar in Tomales Bay in Inverness, California.
In the foreground you can see a small channel of water. To the left is the sand bar that the boat rest on with beach grass growing out of it.
The boat probably has so many stories to tell. It's old and leaning on it's starboard side. All of the windows are broken out and the paint is only holding on in select places. 
The back ground is a beautiful slilghtly cloudy California sky.

I just love the classic architecture of this abandoned railway stop. The rail line has been turned into a hiking/biking path. I keep wishing someone would turn this station into something like an ice cream parlor to restore the architecture and make the building useful again!

Das Fundstück am Meer zeigt ein Stück Holz von einem Schiff. Unterschiedliche blaue Farbreste sind in verschieden Stadien noch zu erkennen. Maserung und Struktur des Holzes scheint durch, die verschiedenen Texturen bilden eine dreiteilige Komposition, oben blau-grau bis schwarz, unten türkis bis dunkelblau.

The find by the sea shows a piece of wood from a ship. Different blue paint residues are still visible in various stages. The grain and structure of the wood shines through, the different textures form a three-part composition, blue-grey to black at the top, turquoise to dark blue at the bottom.

Dreamed I had left my dorm room abandoned for half a semester when I was in college and I went to see it at the end of the year and it was so bad that it broke through into another dimension of decay and messiness. I used to be an RA and had to clean dorm rooms over the summer and saw things no human should ever encounter... #dorms #Decay

This old cinema-theatre stands atop a hill, overlooking the town below. It was built in the 1920s and was once a popular cultural venue. It is unclear when it closed, probably sometime in the 1980s.
