Description
Three friends wait patiently on an old, forgotten chair.
This is a photograph I took while exploring the former Packard Automotive Plant in Detroit, Michigan. Exploring the plant was a unique experience full of thrilling, beautiful, and heartbreaking discoveries, and it will stick with me forever.
The plant itself closed in 1958, however a variety of other businesses used the large complex until the late 1990s. After it was abandoned, the plant began to draw numerous urban explorers, graffiti artists, auto scrappers, and paintballers. Scavengers have also extensively stripped the buildings of wiring and other building materials. I saw this on a large scale during my visit to the plant, and took care to avoid a decently large crew of people equipped with power tools who were taking something from a section of one of the buildings (copper, perhaps).

Barbara, I really like your different take on this photo...very interesting. When I first saw these three I was immediately curious about their history, and each time I see this image I continue to wonder about them. I appreciate you taking the time to view and comment on my photos!

Priya ~ I admire all of your photos for their color, balance and emotional quality. This one I find particularly moving yet in a way contrary to the comments below. I find this a POWERFUL statement of humanity's child-like ability to find play, joy, hope, and gratitude regardless of the external surroundings, in this scene of squalor. Truly "heart and mind over matter" ~ a child services or anti-poverty NFP/NGO's marketing dream picture! Barbara (friend of Lilium)
