Description
Somewhere in the eastern outskirts of Dresden, Germany.
Pentacon Six TL, Carl Zeiss Biometar 80 mm lens, Fuji Reala 160.

Transience squared. All these ruins are what remains of much of the industrial tradition of Eastern Germany. I was so happy when I found this, but soon I came to realize that the paradise of ruins like this is disappearing too. There was no one there when I saw this, but apparently people are stripping this magnificent 19th century complex. Back home, this would probably be a listed building, but I can't blame anybody - there's no money to restore all these and there's not enough people to use them for no matter what.
But for now, nature seems to win.

Note the half-timbered wall in the back, I've never seen that in a factory of this size and age, but I'm not an expert.

If you're not above some Symphonic Rock, or progrock as it seems to be called these days:
Steve Hackett - A Tower Struck Down [link]

Next week I promise I'll calm down again.
