I have used the location of the large brick tower, Image, as subject. In the seven years since that earlier picture was taken, a few differences are visible. Vegetation has begun to overgrow the mounds to the right of the tower, a visual reminder that a housing development that was originally planned for that area stalled. Seven years on, the brick tower is set to be demolished, and development of the area in which it stands is to resume. In fact, about seven weeks after the present picture was taken, demolition was already under way: Image / Image On the left, in the present view, a crane can be seen, almost behind the spire of Image The crane is in fact behind the facade of Image, the top of whose tower can be seen at the far left; see Image
