Ripped Apart

2012-07-05
I've been at a new hospital a lot lately, and it's very nice. This is the old one that they've been demolishing.
I finally took my SLR and tripod over today to photograph it - AND take video! My D7000 does that, so I played around. Sadly I have almost no storage left on my hard drive, so it may be a little while before I experiment more.
It's amazing though - there's a giant machine with a huge mouth-like claw on the end that basically 'bites' the building and crushes it to demolish it. It's a very tedious process since the building is huge and it's right next to the working hospital. It's incredible to watch though... just wait for the video. It's crazy.
