Timothy Allen





Allen took these photos of an abandoned constructivist monument in Bulgaria. the scale of this building set to a backdrop of a snow smothered mountain range creates a very dramatic impact. i wish to also visit this beautiful place. hopefully by then it will not have been neglected so much that it would be unrepairable. i do however enjoy the building as is; lonely standing on a hill gazing at the passing of time.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Ozymandias

I met a traveler from an antique land 
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone 
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, 
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, 
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, 
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read 
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, 
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; 
And on the pedestal these words appear: 
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: 
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” 
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay 
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare 
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Jason DeCaires Taylor

I don't know where this guy finds the time. but his work is amazing. particularly enjoyed these photographs.
