Flickr Sets

A collection of my photos on Flickr - to which I've uploaded far too many pictures. Enjoy!

Darwin Centre, Natural History Museum

Darwin Centre, Natural History Museum

Last updated: Friday December 16 2011

Ominously pickled scientific specimens in jars (apparently referred to as 'spirit collections') and similar.

A bit of an unplanned visit (an appointment at the US embassy earlier that morning went faster than expected, and I didn't have a big camera with me) - I gather there's even more weird and wonderful stuff behind the scenes.

Coming up: rust, dereliction, nuclear bunkers and Bletchley Park!

Seattle Industry and Ruins

Excerpts from various excursions around Seattle-land. I appear to have lost my GPS thinger, so no automatic geotagging - which is faintly annoying. But still. Explore!

(Another, entirely different batch of photos is pending - I wanted to get this out the way first...)

Seattle Central Library

I've been past the place loads of times, but finally went inside - with a camera. I don't know if I like it as a building - but as a work of modernistic sculpture, it's utterly fantastic.

Another bus-selected batch of hitherto abandoned photos, this time with a technological theme. Warning: may include Belgians.

Kauai Excursions

Finally getting around to uploading these. More tropical island, this time with less volcano and more vegetation. And industrial abandonment.

(Most of the trip was spent on a bike or otherwise non-photographically-equipped, so photos are relatively limited in scope. But do include a helicopter...)

Arbitrary Dereliction

Arbitrary Dereliction

Some photos lie forgotten and unloved, ratings left at zero, unnoticed since they were taken.

An accidental selection of all photos tagged 'Dereliction' while on a bus commute revealed a hidden treasure trove of photos - ignored for years, now dragged blinking into the light before allowed to crumble once again. Pretty much all of them had no star rating; I don't think any have been uploaded to Flickr.

I need to investigate what else is lurking in my 40,000+ Lightroom archive...

San Franciscan Dereliction

I find rust, dereliction and decay in even the nicest of places. Behold, San Francisco! Includes bunkers, prison cells, a submarine and even a morgue. Oh, so cheerful.

(Any passing resemblance to Nova Prospekt is purely coincidental.)

Chicago Explorations

This time, avoiding the inadevertent, storm-induced Holidome (don't ask) - have some Chicago photos from LAST YEAR. A city of vast skyscrapers constructed in a desperate attempt to transcend the monstrous, mirror-like flatness of Lake Michigan and the endless prairies. In a landscape without relief, mankind must build its own...

Also, pictures of a U-boat.

Washington Explorations

Went for a perambulation over the North Cascades with the aid of State Route 20. Weather was pretty awful, but got to see some interesting desolation - and some of the remnants of the Glacial Lake Missoula floods.

Apocalyptic landscapes ahoy!
