Sound of Silence post 4

So far I have seen my project taking a turn more towards abandonment and society falling apart instead of being so literal and recreating the lyrics. In this session I went to a location I pass often in Wallingford. Its a small cleared out lot with these 4 tiny falling apart huts and a bridge that leads to what seems to be an abandoned motel. These buildings have been sitting here rotting away when the land or buildings could be refurbished and used to house people who have no place to live. To me this just shows the priorities our society has chosen.  










this photo below shows a fallen over sign I found in front of the cabins. The planning department was supposed to meet on December 13, 2010...and yet the sign is not standing and the rotting buildings remain.
