the gate, workaround

The positioning of heavy machinery, parked up immediately just inside the gate to stop thieves trucking out the salvage metal, has meant not being able to make any meaningful progress, image-wise, from that viewpoint where I first started shooting last January. But today I wanted to try something else with montaging so went back in. Once inside I could now stand on the other side of the excavator, a 'just inside the gate' workaround.

The 19 acre site has been almost entirely flattened now, no buildings have been left standing. Presumably it will only continue to get flatter as metal, hardcore and wood are taken away, and at some point, maybe years from now, the new things probably not yet drawn or thought about, will start to appear, and take the place of what once was here.
