Let there be light...
Not exactly a "ruins" but an early morning view from inside one an abandoned officers quarters at Fort Point - a civil war era fortress guarding the entrance to the Golden Gate in San Francisco. For some time after taking this image I thought that the park service sprayed the outside of the windows to make possible the wonderful diffused lighting effect and blocking out the distracting background. It was only later that I learned that the "spray" was the natural buildup on the elements settling on the windows which themselves are infrequently cleaned.

My goal after 40 years in the textile industry is to photograph as many of the southern textile plants as possible. They are being torn down quicker than I can get to them, it seems. Here are 3, each with its history.
Safie Mill- Was built in 1908 and shows the traditional architecture with
the tower.
Loray Mills- One of North Carolina larger mills, later know as Firestone
Textiles. Loray was most famous for a violent strike in 1929 that
resulted in several deaths.
Great Falls Mill-Was built in 1838, burned by Gen. Sherman during the
Civil War. Rebuilt in 1869 and then burned again in 1972. The
remains covered in the vine kudzr.
