Scrapyard, Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA
#photography #droneography #newtopographics #kalamazoo #michigan
A top-down drone photograph of an industrial scrapyard in winter. Snow blankets the ground, contrasting with dark, muddy access roads that curve through the site in looping paths. The yard is densely packed with heavy equipment and materials arranged in clusters: bright yellow construction cranes and lift booms line the right side, while scattered trucks, trailers, and shipping containers fill the center and left areas. Rusted metal beams, cylindrical tanks, stacked pipes, and scrap piles create irregular shapes and textures across the white snow. Several white and colored semi-trucks and utility vehicles are parked at various angles, some partially surrounded by snow. Long shadows from machinery and buildings stretch across the ground, suggesting low winter sunlight. The overall scene feels busy and industrial, with a patchwork of metal, machinery, and tire tracks forming an intricate pattern against the snowy landscape.

Edison Neighborhood, Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA

#newtopographics #kalamazoo #michigan
A low, one-story auto repair building in winter, located in the Edison neighborhood of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The white cinderblock structure has multiple closed garage doors and a faded green stripe along the bottom. A tall roadside sign reads “Kelly Radiator & Auto Repair,” though the changeable letter board beneath it is blank. Snow covers the sidewalk and a small patch of grass in the foreground, with puddles of meltwater on the cracked asphalt. Leafless trees and utility poles rise behind the building under a pale blue sky. The lot appears empty and the shop looks vacant.

Black-and-white photograph of a cinderblock wall with a small, square window boarded over with weathered wood near the top. Below the window, a rough wooden pallet leans against the wall, partially covered by a thick layer of snow. Snow blankets the ground at the base of the wall, and the overall scene feels stark, cold, and abandoned.

Wind and sand and snow.

A powder of sand and snow is driven by the wind over a mostly buried snow fence. Behind that is a pile of dirty snow; beyond that is Lake Michigan, and the horizon.
