Reflection of Decay

Description

This image is from Dixie Square Mall. I was inspired by DixieSquare and his images

The location is quickly deteriorating and from a conversation that I had today with a scrap picker today the mayor has announced that the mall will be demolished in January of 2012. Given that the mall has been in it's current state for nearly 30 years I find it very hard to believe that the town of Harvey has finally come up with the cash for demolition.

Unfortunately I forgot my flashlight and didn't think to bring my tripod this time around. This first trip was just an exploratory mission, but I could not have been more happy with what I saw. The stairs in one well are deteriorated to the point of danger and some of the cave-ins are really dangerous near the edges, but with some time and safety there will be some amazing shots from this place.

I have a question, and I hope it won't bother you. Did you go to the mall again before it was demolished in 2012?
