View from the window three days ago:
The site is prepared for demolition.
The line into the tower block in Tanners Hill is a contrail not a developing cock-up.
View from the window today:
It took the digger a couple of hours to get this far into the house. It is almost worth the noise, dust and destruction to be able to observe this close-up. All of us want to drive the digger! Something very satisfying there
View from the window a couple of hours later:
Roof down
House down
Dust settles – wardrobes pulled out
The first photo was taken on the Rolleiflex Automat and is the only one I took on that roll. The others were taken using the D300 at 6 fps and I shot 100s of frames… Go figure. And I only wanted to use a few.
On the other hand I don’t get the 80-200 f/2.8 and the telephoto compression on the Rollei…
There is one curious thing about watching all of this. The houses looked to be full of furniture. Beds, wardrobes, suitcases, trunks, cookers, fridges, clothing. All sorts of personal possessions kept piling up outside. You can see wardrobes being lifted in the last photo. It is as if the families that occupied these houses had done a simultaneous moonlight flit leaving everything behind. Or died of plague or something. Weird.
