Interesting concept, John. You have some nice colours in there; I would try cropping the foreground up to the bottom of the stone beneath the red brick wall.
Where in the world did you find this exciting dig? Each and every things and objects in them are exceptionally exposed. I like the composition, grit of the sand...and the angle you did on this shot.
Well seen john. I wonder why decay makes interesting photographs?
I like the second one, John...the sand is more prominent here than the other crops.
I think the 3rd one - with the frontal perspective - relates more of what your title suggests.
