You can check out more of Andrew’s work at his website, BirdBook.org. Due to copywriting I can’t reproduce any here — I strongly encourage you to browse through his work. It’s very good.

Those bright, hot-red tress that look like a burning bush. Down the street my neighbour has one and once a year it catches fire (figuratively, of course) and lights up the yard.

A lot of these photographers have whole photosets of nature and tree photography. Click each image to check them out.

Your eye can easily follow the line of perspective from foreground to background and back again — and there’s more detail to each than first meets the eye.

Part of the magic of such environments is knowing that in the past they were once filled with life – and with decay & neglect now leave only the imagination to wonder what went on. Pixellica presents Part 1 of a feature set highlighting excellent examples of unwanted exploration.

Pixellica will be posting Part 2 of our feature on Urban Decay photography. If you have any thoughts or feedback, let us know!

It’s impossible not to notice a certain loneliness in her photographs as well.
