An old barn can't even hide its damage under the cover of night as the moon spotlights its decay!

Happy Sliders Sunday!
Came across this broken decayed barn, the date on its 1870, love seeing old barns, sometimes I think if those walls could talk.
The former giant At&T building, which stood empty for decades, at the F. Gilbert Hills State Forest in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
The building was designed and built by AT&T during the Cold War, with the walls and floors made of reinforced concrete. It was built to take a nuclear blast and keep operating.
Today it has been turned into a regional dispatch center which handles local emergency calls.
The abandoned Beatrice H. Wood School in Plainville, Massachusetts.
The Beatrice H. Wood School was built in the late 1950s and was demolished in 2017. In its place a new town hall and public safety building was built.
I know some of you were despairing that I had switched to beautiful houses. Nope! The last house I posted was a fluke. But, I’m back!
This house has the four most important qualities for any good photo.
1. Decrepitude
2. Power lines
3. Climbing vines
4. A bird
I bet you thought I was going to say: clarity, composition, exposure and processing, or some other such technical “mumbo jumbo.”
I don’t use any of those camera things in my photos. It is all about the subject matter and whether or not it makes a good story. Not your typical photography rules.
Let’s face it, I could never teach Photography 101. I’d be fired after I told the class to stop in the middle of the road or climb the fence, or feed sausages to the dog. Everyone is so touchy these days. HWW!
The underside of the Rhawn Street bridge over Pennypack Park in northeast Philadelphia. I have heard and read many thoughts on graffiti and whether or not it is art, vandalism or something in between. I have been on different sides of the discussion at different times. I don't offer an opinion here, although you are certainly free to comment if you choose. I simply offer these photos as they are, images of an urban park system, broken, decayed, littered, yet serene, green and beautiful. At least that's what I see.

This rusty hulk of a dozer has been here for untold years. Due to its location it will most likely never be hauled away, hence it will eventually turn to rust, and to the ground it plowed, right where it stopped.

A little house on the Canadian prairie - long abandoned, but still clinging to the present. My family (on both sides) emigrated from various places to Alberta, so old homesteads like this really fascinate me. These stories are in a way, my own.
An iconic old boat-house structure on Norway's southern coast finally succumbs. (it will be rebuilt exacltly as it was)
We hope that their lives were filled with wonderful memories. But this husband and wife haven't been done right since.....
Grove Hill Cemetery, downtown Morrison,IL.
Inside the walls of The Old Joliet Prison is the hospital erected in 1895. I have framed the facade of the building with a broken out glass block window from close by. I'm sure many of the inmates felt they were framed, too. You can see the decay, but you can't smell how bad it was inside that building!!!
Stay well friends. You don't want to have to go to the hospital.
