This is a 'constructed' ruin in a Sculpture Park just outside London. I think it is supposed to be a small ruined chapel, everything inside has been broken intentionally.

Cool subject!
Here's one from the Flagstaff area that I took ~2 years ago with a 4x5 and a 6x12 roll film back. Shot with a 110XL on Acros.

That's a very sobering picture, Ed. Lovely as well. Gorgeous pictures al and Jim. Whenever I think to myself IR film looks 'gimmicky' somebody goes and posts something gorgeous with it.
Ian Grant has some really nice photos of ruins on the British Isles and Greece - on the Pyrocat HD Gallery :)
Wow.
Hi Kirk,
That's the Lomaki site in Wupatki National Monument.
Thank you, Mr. Lee, for that link. The photos are awesome.
It is hard to get that fading fog effect out here in the American West unless you are out photographing in the snow. It is nice to see it done so well.
That stadium is amazing. Hard to believe what it would have looked like in its day filled to capacity. Makes you wonder what the next civilization will think about the ruins from ours.
And a couple Ken hasn't seen, using Pyrocat of course, and my Crown graphic hand-held :D

Kirk, Good to see your work here. This is a wonderful image, i suspect there was some waiting to get that cloud perfectly situated?
Chaco Canyon - 4x5
Thanks Jan. I can't resist a thread on ruins. No I was shooting the opposite direction and was starting to take the camera down. I stepped around the front of the camera to take the lens off and saw this scene developing behind the camera. I quickly swung the camera around leveled it, jumped under the hood to focus and frame, switched filters metered and shot. I got off one exposure before the cloud rose beyond my framing and evaporated.
Just one of those gifts from the camera gods.

Yesterday at Fort Stevens OR. Not much left but it once was a ruin.
Neg scan.
Mining equipment, Bodie, CA
This is a ruin of what appears to be a mine sluice. The sluice comes down the mountain and around the back side of the timbers. There may be an adit above the timbers, but I did not go to investigate. Or it may have been affiliated with the Kitty Mack mine that is 1.5 miles farther up the mountain. The Kitty Mack is marked on my topo sheets, this site is not.
Taken with Linhof IV, Schneider 150mm on Fuji NPS.

I'll need to return here a few times to make a variety of cliches :) but it is fun.

Truly outstanding, Kirk.
Thanks guys. I love photographing on the edge of storms. Shortly after taking this I found a pure white chert perfect arrowhead that had been washed out by the previous days rain just off the walkway. I pointed it out to a ranger who said no one had ever turned one in before and graciously gave it to me.

Jim,
Did you ever get a chance to shoot the Depot (or bottle house) before the chain link fence went up?
Brown's Mill, Salmon River, CT. My grandfather worked here in the teens and 20's - my Dad and his brother were born just across the street. It had been a mill of one kind or another since the Civil War era.
Shot at Barnsley Gardens here in Georgia near Adairsville. Anba Ikeda, 150mm lens, Ektapan film most likely.
Ruined shot (Cable release stuck) of Adobe ruins, my eyes are pretty much ruined too.
Hello all,
