I liked the way this abandoned weathered sway-backed shack looked, so here is another veiw.
Near Pine Grove, Central Oregon.
Mobile home being torn apart. Many trailer are just being abandoned. Too old to move. Lots of police activity in this area right now.

The ancient creature that lays, in remains, here on the Blue Anchor shoreline had a real case of tooth decay!
Of course, it's old wooden piles along the foreshore, but the toothy grin analogy holds I think!
I had to pop out to Minehead today and the forecast wasn't all that great so I decided on 'long exposure, waves'. Forecast was out - it was sunny and warm!
Still, with th 9-Stop ND filter I was able to blur the wave motion a little and get some pleasant white cloud reflections. Looked better in mono....
I have no idea why there are hundreds of aluminium carry out tray here. nor do I know why this shoe sits in this position..."If only I could speak..."
Built in 1959, the Queen of Sidney served BC Ferries for many years before being quietly retired in 2008. Since then, she has sat decaying and neglected west of Mission, waiting for a new home that never came. In early May 2025, a fire broke out aboard the vessel, further worsening her condition. It’s striking — and a little heartbreaking — to see a once‑proud ship left to rot
From our recent grand tour in East Germany.
After being awake for a full two days it was time to set camp and get some sleep. It was getting late and we still had to check in, somewhere somehow. Whilst driving through the woods we noticed this big abandoned hotel on top of a hill. Did that crooked sign just says Bates Motel? Is this place hotel'able? Let's find out...
Tired and in desperate need of a bed we walked towards the entrance. The rating said 5 stars but I had a bad feeling those stars weren't shining tonight. There was no bell boy, no one at the reception, the kitchen was already closed, the grand lobby was empty, the place looked awful, smelly & dusty, and checking in involved two climbs and entering through an open window just big enough to squeeze in a midget. I hate it. No service whatsoever.
Can I see the manager please?
Luckily for us mister Montreal joined us for the evening supper. Besides being a talented explorer he's also a profound piano player. High five for that grand overture! Made my day.
After a delicious evening I went out to have a smoke. A white car with a green stripe grabbed my attention at the parking lot. The car pulled over to the front door. Polizei.
I knew there was a problem with our credit card for making the overnight reservation, but calling the police on us was a little too much. However, there was no time to make a complaint to the manager. I ran to the other side of the hotel and called my buddies.
OK PEOPLE, WE'RE CHECKING OUT! WE HAVE A LITTLE LESS THAN 2 MINUTES. LEAVE THE SOAPS AND TOWELS, WE TRAVEL LIGHT. CHOP CHOP.
Half a minute later we're all packed & geared, leaving through the terrace at the backside of the hotel. Because the reception was colored with uniforms we had no other choice than to take a steep climb downhill on the south side of the mountain. At one point it was just too dangerous to continue. We decided to hang on to some trees: back facing the cliff, groin wrapped around the base of a tree, and enjoying the view. Taking a long break and await better times. Exploring in Germany. Good times!
