Serene Landscape; Rusting Statues

What kind of society do we live in?

I took the five photographs below on playing fields and waste ground behind Feltham train station. It was an overcast day, but there was a chance the sun would make an appearance, so I brought black and white and colour film. In the end, at that visit, I only exposed the B&W. It was getting late, there were crowds of teenagers congregating, obviously wondering what I was doing.

I decided to call it a day after one roll of film. I can take care of myself, but there is no use inviting trouble.

These overgrown statues of rust are the artistic product of joyriders. Driven to within inches of their lives and then set alight to the god of rebellion. Juveniles (?) that have nothing better to do in a society that doesn't really care. A throw away society, only now its not always the consumer products that are the only thing thrown away.
