Some New Urban Industrial Images

These images from East St. Louis and Granite City were shot at dusk under clear sky. The weather had cleared from a number of mid-day thunderstorms which produced tornado's across much of the Midwest. No trace of that hours later.

Collection of Rural and Urban Images

I took these images a few weeks back over a coupe of days between Christmas and New Years. I had to drive to Columbia Missouri for a project and decided to take the back roads home and photograph. I found some really interesting architecture, some abandoned buildings, and some powerful landscapes. Please enjoy. If you like these images please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Thanks!

St. Louis

Today's post are from a recent series of images shot just North of the down town area of St. Louis. I call this the Death of the Merchant of Venice as it is in and around a recently renovated bridge across the Mississippi called what else the Merchant's Bridge. It connects North St. Louis with Venice IL. Just accross the river into Illinois is an Ameren UE power station which is being demolished. It is a place grand in scale and size as the river, the bridge and the power station as well as the views back toward the city are all grand in scale.
