    Great shot. It should be up in the Documentary forum, though.
    That's where photojournalism is appreciated.

    In this forum, rust trumps fire.

    I don't know how to delete this thread. Can anyone help?

    No, no, don't delete it. While Documentary is a good choice, I was a bit tongue in cheek.
    Many people read and post to both groups.

    There's no reason why you can't post the same pix to both groups, though. They are good.

    I agree. Moving it now…

    And while rust does trump fire, fire can also burn rust. Kind of a rock-paper-scissors thing. headscratch.gif

    love the morning after shot. You could spend a day going back with different light and find 100 different photos there. Nice work.

    Agree. That frozen upper two stories of the wall, on the right hand side in the after pic, straight on, with the right light would be most awesome. Even a close-up of that stop light.

    Always a shame and sad when a landmark historic building is destroyed. I read that online that the place was supposedly haunted.

    Yes, there had been several gatherings and events that had taken place over the last few years associated with paranormal activity coming from within the building. It really was a terrible loss for our community.

    I really liked the first two shots....thought they were very well done. This shot here, though, is really powerful. I like the composition and PP work. But, beyond all of that, this image can evoke strong, multi-level emotions; not that the others don't, but this one really grabs me. Well done.clap.gif

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks Tom! I didn't know it at the time, but I know the firefighter. He's a good friend. He saw someone taking a picture but didn't know it was me because I was pretty much covered form head to toe. It was 4 below zero! I don't know how they stayed out there so long in such brutal conditions. Winds gusting to about 20 mph.

    Nice shooting. thumb.gif. It would be interesting to see a morning after shot taken from exactly the same angle as the first fire shot. Or a shot from the same angle as #2 while the building was burning, though I imagine your position possibilities were restricted while the firemen were at work.
