Human Endeavour Gallery 3 Urban Images

In Gallery 3: Urban Images: These are some of my images reflecting the influence of Man in and upon the world around him. I tend to see decay in the urban images I take. Urban's decay back to nature fill me with hope for the future, but the visions this creates as this process of decay occurs can be disturbing. Man's destructive nature is often all too visible, with graffiti tags and rubbish build up being examples of this. I am exploring the interaction between Man and the natural environment as well as Man and his own environment. In these images, my affinity with water can be strongly seen, and I enjoy walking the rivers and canals of the urban landsacpe. I have a personal interest in telecommunications and the images of networking switches and cables as well as the angles of the power lines I find particularly evocative. Being evacuated from Leith Hall in Scotland while visiting offered an excellent opportunity to capture the fire brigade in action.
