 The oldest hospital in Ft. Worth (Founded in May, 1883) has been vacant for over a decade and is now being torn down.

JPS to tear down vacant St. Joseph Hospital complex

Post-challenge notes:
Quite surprised that this pulled a TT considering the sloppy selective editing I did around the diggers. I only noticed it the morning after voting started. I thought for sure someone would comment on that huge error, but nobody did.

Oh, and the fit to the challenge was simply the "over the top" processing. Heavy tonemapping and cranked up saturation.
