Industrial Wasteland . . .

I suppose it was Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits fame who wrote about "Industrial Disease", but there is no doubt, there is a serious malaise afoot these days, whatever you want to call it. Incredibly greedy bankers who felt obliged to pay themselves huge bonuses in order to purchase million dollar homes on private islands have helped drive the world wide economy right into the ground. . . may be time to start thinking about driving some wooden stakes into those greedy vampire banker hearts . . . they were playing high stakes games, and they lost ... casting a pall on things for the rest of us who find ourselves helpless to act to avert what appears to be an impending disaster. And all over the landscape abandoned factories are littering the wasteland ; representing millions of dollars invested in buildings and equipment that are rotting away back to rust and dust. . . Funny how the Romans built arenas that have lasted 2000 years in places like Rome and Nimes or Orange, yet today we build stadiums, like Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia that was obsolete and demolished a mere 30 years after its construction... we waste, we waste, we waste . . . one day shall we be punished for our wanton ways ? I photographed this decaying factory in Indianapolis, Indiana not so very long ago.
