The owner of the farm property, said this was his deceased grandmothers old house and he could'nt bear to tear it down.
She lived until age 98, so now he just farms around it.

Yes, here's my favorite abandoned house again. I first discovered it about 30yrs ago and I've photographed it many times. I find irresistible to pass by without shooting it again.

Ok, i took some, actually many, other shot of this leave and i had to go back to this plant and see if i find other leaves which are of good value...i found couple of them.
I came up with several shots, here are 2 of them. I know it' might be repetition, but I had to upload them, cause they deserve upload...don't they!
How I did the shots:
I put the decaying leave on the back of my computer(black)installed my camera on my tripod and, side and back lit the scene with my mobile (moving it with my hand a bit) on two different modes...red/green pictures, so that it gives the leaf the color. I also i prayed some deodorant around the scene to come up with shallow ambient light which in the case of green one blew the leaf away :D in the mid exposure, but cool it doubled the scene. cheers!

This is a collection of old buildings at Fort Rock. Behind the old wagon is the Saint Bridget's Catholic Church from 1918. In 1988 the original pioneer buildings were moved to a fenced Museum due to excessive vandalism.
In the early 1900s the Government gave away land parcels to homesteaders willing to try dry grass farming. Most homesteaders gave up after several years of failed crops.
At one time Fort Rocks population was approx. 1200.
Today, it's about 60 who work at the visiting center for it's prominent geological landmark after which the town is named.

It was a cool overcast day with a recent dusting of snow when i revisited this abandoned farm. The gate was closed, so i took a long shot of it.
Near Dufur in central Oregon
There is some very urbex looking paint which is decayed and peeling off the walls of the front room of the abandoned Hotel. Here Darkday poses her beautiful body in her cute green dress at what used to be the front doors of the abandoned Hotel
All that's left of this abandoned farm is an old leaning barn and beyond it the house.
Overhead clouds blocked a lot of light when i took this shot.
South Eastern WA.
In all my years of exploring back roads, this is the first abandoned brick farmhouse I've ever run across.
Also, a couple of rundown barns are on the property.
Near Grass Valley in central Oregon.
As photographers, we typically want to capture the beauty in the world, but sometimes the ugly is worth capturing too...
