When the military leaves a base or battles have passed, facilities are often left to the elements, and break down with the passage of the years. Water, plants, animals reclaim space which, in time, become ripe opportunities for photographers to record what’s left.

Photos from *BZd*, Beamtwenty3, jrej, and rhilton4u. You can view more in the Military Decay pool.

Weekly Snapshot with Flickr Social, 5/16/2025

Enjoy this week’s installment of ‘Weekly Snapshot with Flickr Social’ and see some of our favorite Flickr Social shots of the week!

Featured Photographer

Washington, DC-based photographer Emma K. Alexandra may consider herself an amateur, but we've been admiring her dynamic and authentic photography for a while—and it's clear her work holds its own alongside the pros. Her thoughtful images capture the raw beauty of everyday life. Emma told us she wasn’t always into photography and attempted to pick it up a few times before it finally stuck. She explained, “Back in the day I got into videography by making 6 second drone videos on Vine (rip). That got me out hiking and exploring Upstate NY, where I lived at the time, and eventually I figured I should pick up a regular camera. I got a Sony a6000, didn’t put a lot of effort into learning it, and I gave up on photography soon after.”
