Reclamation by Decay


Reclamation by Decay (click on image to enlarge)


They say that if mankind should disappear from this world, the last monument to his existence will be the Hoover Dam. But after a few thousand years even that will crumble to the forces of nature.
This is not the Hoover Dam, just my representation of simple bricks and mortar after not so many years exposure.
All comments, complimentary or murderous, are of course welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Tech Info:
Medium : Digital
Software : Adobe CS2
Print size : 60 x 42 inches
(Original) Image resolution : 150 ppi (9000 x 6300 pixels)
(Original) File size : 16.8mb @ 1Mbs

Incidentally:
Working on such a large scale in CS2 is not advisable. Having struggled to save the original image, the software appears incapable of opening the file again (insufficient RAM), and I was forced to rely upon Windows Paint to create a reduced size copy for loading here. Any suggestions as to how to overcome the problem within CS2 would be appreciated.
