Ken C.,
Have wondered if Biewers was photo worthy... I'd have to vote yes.
Agree with your sentiments... disintegrating iron (or a building) brings out a sense of wonder and awe regarding those who imagined and created them - along with a sense of sadness at the dying/disappearing vestiges of that bygone era.
