These two photographs caught my eye while I was browsing on the internet for abandoned buildings. The photographers have been shooting old buildings and I thought these two were very powerful images by them. I really like the second one because it looks like the sky is making everyone put their focus on the building in the middle of the frame. I could try those effects through HDR and by Photoshop'ing my image quite a lot. Following is a statement by them that I have found on their website that I thought I should share as well.
Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies
and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension.
The state of ruin is essentially a temporary situation that happens at
some point, the volatile result of change of era and the fall of empires.
This fragility, the time elapsed but even so running fast, lead us to watch them one very last time :
being dismayed, or admire, making us wondering about the permanence of things.
Photography appeared to us as a modest way
to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state.
