Hi, I'm an admin for a group called ANYTHING GOES SCOTLAND,VINTAGE PHOTOS,POSTCARDS,EPHEMERAetc..., and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Very different now: Since this picture was taken the city council has started 'refurbishing' the building to make it suitable for office conversion. The museum and gallery have had to close and parts of the rear of the building have been demolished.

A shot looking down schoolhill towards Marischal College. (I tried posting a smaller shot but you couldn't make it out very well. Hope you don't mind the medium size shot)

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Marischal College, Aberdeen, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Here's the inner buildings, shown in the LoC shot


And the outer building is on the left here.

The mirroring of headstones, buildings and smokestacks is just a compositional masterpiece. Always loved this and used a reference image when I taught black and white photography classes in college.

What a statement this photo makes. It is a prophecy of the AMERICAN FUTURE IN INDUSTRY...

There is a story to tell here, a story about the greatest generation, a story about the life and death of America's steel industry, a story too, about crosses and the ACLU's efforts to remove them. Don't let the ACLU mess with Christianity, please--or any other religion. We are a free country with freedom to believe what we want. I don't believe we need a religious police force or a group of GOD COPS censoring our spirituality. Amen...

The name of this cemetery is St. Micheal's. It lies on the sloping side of a low moutain on the south side of Bethlehem Pennsylvania. This was the side of the town where the mill stood. It was the side that the workers lived on as you can see by the row homes in the picture. As the plant closed and the jobs disappeared many families were forced to leave. Shops and lunch counters closed with no noon rush to keep them open. The south side became run down, buildings sat empty and this cemetery was neglected and vandalized. Behind where Evans stood to shoot this image, the graves continue up into the tree line. Many do not contain a word of English, baring testament to the various ethnic groups that had come here to work at the steel. Some, such as a plain cross cut from sheet metal show just how hard some people were struggling.

Heading off to final day of conference. Wireless permitting, I'll check in to see if there are cries of distress and ye want a helpful hint... :)

I know, I know, miss, miss, miss pick me!

No idea where it is, but judging by the scaffolding to the left and right of the chapel I would say a new church is being is being built behind and the church at the front was probably demolished

I think we may be back in Castletownbere again

If you zoom into the last castletownbere photo you can see this church and also see my note there about the building of the new Church. You can also see some of the scaffolding poles to the left of the church in this photo
