Description
This wooden bunker has been used to store seed trays and plant pots for about 4 decades and has finally succumbed to decay.
Although it is obviously falling down it is low on my work list at present, as it is a great habitat for all manner of creatures and fungus.
I also quite like how it looks, strange though that might seem to some folk!

it makes interesting textures
It has been & still is of some use. Like this pic.
The use of selective color works very well with this "almost" b/w image. Love and appreciate the textures.
I had places like that before we moved
Well of course you have to keep it. There is a lovely colony of moss growing on it. The un-worked version is more colorful than I would have expected. You could spruce it up just a bit and put out a sign that says 'Welcome all creatures great and small'.
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
a good place for insects and bugs to hide
with Mark's suggestion, why not add the caption to the Statue of Liberty ("give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses"), or---for fungus and microbe haters---"Abandon hope, all ye who enter here..." Who couldn't love this beauty??? It's a great sight (no joke, I'm being serious), and you postworked it to add subtle depths and grain to it; it looks like an badly made old coffin. And the pots next to it are great. The bunker is really packed in there! The flickr version, on the other hand, appears without postwork, and its colors and sharpness give a totally different view, and very scintillating. This version has more sinister, archaeological feeling. I like both equally. This is a terrific capture, Andrea.
Great shot, but I dont hope it means that the Titmouse can´t have her nest under a shelter anymore? :P
I know just what you mean; I also quite like the look of entropy and decay. This is marvelous!
Not everything needs to be cleaned up and straightened and fiddled with. Part of the nature of the world is that everything has its own lifespan. This is lovely in its decay! We had a bridge over the creek when we still had the duplex, and I didn't have it taken down until it became a hazard and a liability. I looked at it every day for more than 15 years though, so I'm sure I'll never forget it!
A variable paradise for all sorts of life! I agree with Tara, older decayed and worn objects are just as acceptable as new.
Wonderful pic. of this natural and cool looking piece of history.
All sorts of bugs, mice and ground critters will be very happy with your kindness Andrea.
