Theme Day, October 2016, Abandoned

I suspect that there will probably be a number of abandoned buildings posted for this theme day, but I couldn't resist selecting this one because I think it evokes many feelings: rustic beauty, nostalgia, isolation and many more. It also sadly is a statement about the condition of our rural past.

Go here to see other photos of "abandonment" posted by City Daily Photo bloggers.

  3. I always want to go through these buildings to see what I can find, but they look rather dangerous and would probably fall down upon me! I'd guess if you dug in the earth around the building you'd find lots of old/antique artifacts.

  7. Hi Kate. Yes, you're missing a great author if you like mystery novels. Randy Wayne White created Doc Ford, a funky character who lives on Sanibel Island...if you've spent time on Sanibel or Captiva or Southwest Florida, you can really get into these books. Try one, I think you'll like it. I haven't kept up with White or his character for some time, so he may have made some changes as to what ol' Doc Ford is up to.

  9. At least wooden building age in a picturesque way. Sadly mobile homes don't. Lovely shot!

  10. Looks like an average farmstead in North Dakota.

  11. Abandoned is one way of describing large numbers of farmsteads. The land is mostly still in use, but the buildings are not.
