Urban Decay

I have several decay-themed sets in fact... geographically grouped.
In fact, it's a search on the theme that actually brought me to Flickr, and most of the pix I posted are about decay themes, with more to follow.

I have a Decay and Dereliction set:
www.flickr.com/photos/auntiep/sets/29999/

now that i went pro, i finally did a "deconstruction" set:

ummm does urban landscapes count?

I do now.

I've just posted a new set of images that I will continue to add to. A block near my house has been scheduled for redevelopment for a number of years and the properties have been left to rot. I took some photographs in November and have just been to take some more.

I've posted a few to the group pool. The full set is here: www.flickr.com/photos/auntiep/sets/105965/

Looks like there's going to be something happening on the decaying block I've been photographing. We'll just have to wait and see how the planning application goes.

Just added a few photos from a set I've just uploaded of a building in Cardiff that's been covered in words of protest. You can see them all here

Here is a link to my set.

I've got a set called ashes to ashes, metal to rust.

Great set, varohaub!

I also have one, dedicated to my hometown:

Urban Decay

I just visited Byberry Mental Institute(not as a patient). It was a deplorable place in the 30's and 40's. Google it and see.

Hmm. Must get on and create one!

www.flickr.com/photos/revanr/sets/90793/

this is a set i call beautiful decay, not all urban but you may want to look anyway. and i will add many more to this wonderful pool soon, since i just went PRO!! and urban decay is always a favorite subject of mine.

Here is my set... mainly old buildings abandoned for 20 or more years!

A flash journey through an abandoned church, which I recently created. :)

I have 2 sets :
Whitby Psych and Don Valley Brickworks

I will upload at least 20 more pictures to the Whitby Psych set this week.

I am in the middle of this project on Industrial Abstracts
that is on topic.

I've got one set specific to a block in Chattanooga, TN - across the street from the notorious "Choo-Choo." I centered the shots (more or less) on the long-abandoned St. George Hotel.

It's right here.

Specifically for disused railways..

A few of my favourite urban exploration-type photos:
www.flickr.com/photos/duncan/sets/76161/

+ quite a few other sets in my photostream at specific locations

I just put up Urban Confetti. It's urban, it's decay, but it's not the usual rundown building type of decay.

I also have a Color of Decay set, which is a bit more classic urban decay.

Feel free to look at mine.

(thanks for the invite)

Like a few other Toronto-area people, I have a Whitby Psychiatric Hospital set.

Most of the pictures in my set Public City could be seen as being about decay. I choose to think that they are about the use people put the city to and the erosion that therefore occurs. Erosion vs. Decay, it's a fine distinction.

Mine is here.

yup, got one too
It is actually the one with less urban decay than many others
www.flickr.com/photos/naftalina007/sets/167548/

It's not exactly urban decay per se, but there are pix that fall into the urban decay theme. It's a group dedicated to a rapidly changing New York neighborhood that has just been rezoned.
Soon our old buildings, abandoned lots and views of the East river will be built on.

Check out Killing Williamsburg.

Hiya, just saw the discussion. I have a decay set going on. Not all Urban, but a nice mix. Most of my most viewed pics are in this set, guess we all lurve decay! :)

Sorta. A little abandoned factory, is all.

www.flickr.com/photos/ulri/sets/367989/
is the name of my Decay set.

I put up another Urban Decay set in the guise of Green Metal Shutters.

My abandoned house set.

I look at much of the decay as urban art.

The pic I recently posted is part of a documentary series on the decline of downtown Fairbanks, Alaska.

Here's mine..

The demise of Whitley Bay : The ultimate example of Urban Decay

iambigred, your set is nice but could you please not flood the pool with so many images at once. It's not fair to the other users when someone has 6 pages of images in a row like that. That's just entirely too much. This is a showcase for all members not just one. It's best to spread big contributions out over a period of days. Also.. please don't submit images that look like duplicates back to back.

A fresh set of images from an old mill we found in Toppenish, Washington, USA: Toppenish Mill

Here's my set. Mostly things falling apart in and around Toronto.

Just started a new urban decay set: Urban Decay

Just organised mine in a set.

My Urban set

It occurs to me that I never posted all of mine.

My main one is pure urban decay.

Then I have a mixture in my Corsicana, Sad Paint and textures sets.

Montreal is a city of great beauty and charm, however like all metropolises, the old gets decrepit and destroyed unless it gets special protection for historical value. Until such time it makes for great photographic subject matter. Here is my Urban Decay set.

I have a set exploring the ruins of an old seaside hotel in Japan... the exterior shots show it's not technically urban, but I think any of the other photos could count.

a set titled "urban abstractions"

urban d.n.a
www.flickr.com/photos/lyrical/sets/597468/
plenty of decay can be found in there.

One more Abandonned & Decay set from Canada to add;

Packard automobile plant in Detroit. Built in 1907 and the first reinforced concrete factory in the country. The pictures don't do it justice...it's HUGE.

Hai! www.flickr.com/photos/skorj/sets/472500/

a chance happening upon a derelict factory.

I have one set so far - Buffal Central Terminal - where my Urban Explorers Group went to recently. Will be posting more as we visit more sites.

I have a set about entropy.

Hello everybody, thanks for this interesting topic where I found inspiring collections. My set shows details of urban decay:

Click here and go to the sets FLAYED, OBSOLETE, KNACKERED, UNPEOPLED.

This set contains a few shots of a 1960s Beijing neighbourhood which is being demolished for redevelopment.

I've got a set that is almost complete, here. Miami, Arizona is a modern ghost town. When the mining operations closed down, there was little to sustain it. I've never seen a community so decimated by such an economic decline in this way. The set is meant to be seen as a slideshow. When I complete about 12 more images for upload, the final images in the series complete a visual tale.

Bumping this up for the newer members. Was buried on the third forum page.

Mine's here - bit of a mix from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Bermuda and Istanbul

I have a set of scuzzy London...

...a compilation taken from various geographically defined shots which may explain why it's a bit of an eclectic mix to say the least! Includes, Thurrock, London and...Gent.

everything i do i t h i nk falls under this category...

i've got one for general urban decay, and one for an abandoned town called Gilman.

I have a set dedicated to the demolition of our old football stadium,it is called- The demolition of the Oosterpark stadium.

Desolation Row is the closest I have to what you're asking.

More urban decay, mostly from San Francisco and the East Bay.

My "art" set is another way of looking at urban decay.
