I love to ski past this old ranch called the Braa Place on way to the mountains. The homesteaders and ranchers were a tough bunch back in the old days.
An exterior shot of the Salmon Homestead to go with the interior view posted earlier. The Salmons homesteaded in the 1880's on the site of the ancient Puebloan ruins eventually named after the family.
Looks like another roof was installed over the old roof in an attempt to protect the structure. The "new" roof looks pretty decrepit too.
Two abandoned houses on Temple St. in Detroit.
Now demolished to make way for the new Red Wings arena
29 Palms, CA. This desert cabin has been painted so many times (and peeled so many times) it's impossible to tell the original color. Currently a fascinating mix of multiple paint colors that makes it fun to photograph. Happy Sliders Sunday!
An old homestead sits abandoned in rural New Brunswick, beautifully framed by a huge tree that has also seen better days.
Built in 1918 by the Nicker family, the homestead also served as a telegraph station on the Overland Telegraph linking Adelaide and Darwin.
It was abandoned in 1935.
Taken with my Samsung S10 as my 7D decided to die on our trip from NSW to Darwin :(

Today's story and sketch "by me" we are at the homestead of
Wade Waamenetti and his wife Waffi, who recently arrived
from their home planet Mars, they are the first Martians to homestead one of the many new Mohave Desert Oasis created by the Wikkitikkians. When the Wikkitikkians stopped carving crop circles, and opted instead to create ponds with swaying tiki palms and decorative Wikkitikkian carved tiki's, or "Crofts"
the Wikkitikkian word for homesteads with swaying tiki palms,
tiki's and ponds. And now as the news of the Mohave Tiki Oasis
has spread throughout the Galaxy, there has been a rush by
the Galaxies Roving Gypsies to park their RV's next to the
newest Oasis to claim as home. Which will be a story for
another time, as to how Rescue Randy and JB (you see above), will handle the influx of alien Gypsy's taking the
prime spots in the Mohave, until then taa ta
the Rod Blog.
Abandoned homestead, eastern Washington. On the right at horizon is one of the many glacial erratics deposited during the last ice age. The erratic in the distance is approximately the same size as this abandoned structure.
Nicole and I went out and did some night shooting last night. This is a two shot composite, one at iso2500 for 25sec at F2.8/24mm for the sky and one at iso400 for 25sec at F2.8/24mm and some light painting on the house. Shot in raw processed in Lightroom and blended in Photoshop. If you look close you see three faint meteorites just above the house.
A morning jaunt into Brynmawr revealed the charm of the family run Homestead Cafe. This shot was taken over the empty tables at one end of the cafe, amid the jocular banter from a family around the corner, while waiting for a roast lunch to arrive. The blurry object on the left is a white cup of tea, hiding the camera as this shot was made.
The remains of the original homestead of John and Katy Northrup can be found a couple miles into the Northrup Canyon. The story of the Northrups demonstrates that life was challenging and complicated in the early days.
John Northrup emigrated to the area after crossing the Oregon Trail. He married third wife, Katy and moved to the canyon in 1889. When John's health began to fade, the property was leased to a Mr. Sanford. In 1903, Sanford shot and killed Katy in her home in the canyon. Sanford thought Katy was stealing from him and believed murdering her was the best way to resolve their disputes. Sanford was acquitted of the murder as a result of being of unsound mind from war experiences.
After the murder, one of the Northrup sons and his family moved to the canyon, The family split up and the son left the area leaving his wife Joella and children to run the farm in 1906. Joella made a success of the farm. However, in 1926, the last of the Northrups left the canyon. Eventually the property was acquired by Washington State Parks and the canyon is a popular hiking destination.
