Provided some SAG support for my friend yesterday. She didn't really need me so I did a little #photography.

Rural Decay

Spotted this decaying building on a drive through Ohio country roads.

Infrared photo of an abandoned wooden building overtaken by bright red foliage. Peeling white paint clings to the cracked window frames, while vines and plants weave through broken glass and empty interiors. The surreal color of the leaves contrasts starkly with the decay, evoking a haunting but strangely beautiful sense of time and nature’s resilience.
