Hanging On

Photograph by Valtteri Murto , National Geographic Your Shot

I m an airline pilot interested in both urban decay and aviation history, writes Your Shot member Valtteri Murto , who captured this picture during a day off spent photographing parts of Brooklyn. I came to Floyd Bennett Field out of pure curiosity, and after noticing these hangars, I just couldn t keep myself away, he writes. Though it was a sunny day in March, recent rains had left large puddles that caught reflections like this one. I had to dodge falling pieces of aluminium plating, Murto adds. The hangars are in a state of serious decay, and roof panels and debris were blown across by gusty wind.
