Yes, this poor rabbit is lost. We went on a shooting day with a forum on 9lives.be to Doel. Doel is a village in Belgium and it is fighting for several years against the port of Antwerp. There are plans to make a new giant dock on the place where Doel stands now. Next to the village, there is a large nuclear electric central. In the village, there are several houses that are empty, and some are still being habitated. There are also some gipsies living in these houses. During the shooting day, we went in a few empty and rubbishful houses and in one of them I found this. This rabbit maybe tells us a little about the history of this village that maybe soon will be lost. BTW here in Antwerp are a lot of little villages that are lost in the Port of Antwerp where sometimes you can only see a churchtower of the remaining villages surrounded by thousands of containers.

well first of all Nick, I am glad you were not actually shooting rabbits! lol! I had no idea there were so many little abandoned villages. Antwerp is a beautiful city in itself and when I was there I stood on the riverside looking over the port. You can only imagine the story behind the picture!

Hi Nick,
I've seen your gallery on Picasa, some remarkable captures over there, truly grasping the mood of a dying city,
I especially like the B&W versions such as this one, they tell a story all by themselves,
Nicely done,

Kind regards
Tim

I didn't know that there were villages in the sea in Antwerp. It's a creepy idea isn't it, the sea recovering the land..or valleys that are flooded to make reservoirs. I love your fun shots like this one, you have such a different take on things. It's very thought-provoking.
