Perfect weather. A grey day for a grey subject.
A puny body weakens the soul.

And drizzle, to boot
This is the former Wildroot Hair Tonic factory in Buffalo, NY. I took a series of photographs of it in the spring of 2016 as part of a volunteer effort on behalf of the Preservation League of New York State, which identified this fantastic building as one of the Seven to Save endangered buildings. My goal in the pictures that I take for the Preservation League is to show both the beauty and/or significance of the site and the threats that it faces. I have run across few scenes which more clearly showed both components at the same time, with the Bailey Avenue overpass having been built juste a couple of feet from the front of the building which has a fantastic Mid-Century Modern facade.

On the right what remains of the Westinghouse plant (brakes and parts for trains), formerly Rapid cars company. On the left, the obvious ensuing real estate speculation (horror vacui)

Love the cargo ship photo. The poles/logs in the water make a nice foreground.
Here are two solar panels getting ready to mate. (4x5 tmy2, aero ektar because I didn't have any other normal sharp lenses on me)

And a pallet of panels and more framing.. 7.25" Verito soft focus lens. It's some of the pictorialism into modern style.. The shapes and lines and tones are very ambitious for a soft photo but not out of character for an early modern photo.

@jp: Verito is my favorite pictorial lens: very nice photo.
