Empty shops and business premises are a common sight on UK High Streets, but many vacancies are relatively short lived - the shops are soon in use again although in these difficult times, the new business only have a limited life.
This collection portrays retail outlets that have been empty long-term, some for many years. In the past, all these have housed thriving businesses. Yet now, for some reason, they are empty and some are falling into a state of disrepair and dilapidation.
Each has its own story to tell. Some are completely empty, others seem to have stopped trading suddenly and appear like the Marie-Celeste, still with stock in the windows. In many cases, we can tell easily from the faded signage what business last operated from the shop. Others are a complete mystery with faded blinds or shutters and all signs removed.
Empty stairs in a worn out house. That's where she stays where she hides out.

Grain moves became more common through Cartier when the Soo Locks and St. Lawrence Seaway was closed in the winter due to ice, That put more trains across Northern Ontario in the worst possible weather. Westbound grain empty 301 rolls into Cartier just after sun rise on February 21, 1992 with 5406 and 5402. The big fuel tank ex QNS&L SD's stood out in CPR's huge fleet of EMD's. Yes it was cold!

Not much traffic, empty and beautiful...
This about sums up my feelings of spring in Colorado this year. Its technically spring, and it should be warm and inviting, but the rediculous storms we've been getting are anything but summery.
But hey! As of a few hours ago finals are done, so now let the summary mayhem begin! Maybe now I'll be on Flickr more than once a month!
Speaking of summer, its gonna be a busy one for sure. I got a(nother) job doing electrical and software engineering at Southwest Research Institute, building a payload for a high altitude balloon. Read on if interested!

The house behind me is still under constuction. It looks like it’s almost finished. The contractors always leave a light or two on for security reasons.

During the first days of corona lockdown: The closed Crown Inn at the entrance of the likewise closed Franconian open-air museum, Bad Windsheim, Franconia (Bavaria)
Yawning void: The Franconian open-air museum is usually a vibrant place, even in the mornings when groups of school classes amongst others populate the museum’s grounds. But now, both museum and its entrance area, where the ancient inn is located, are depopulated. I was in Bad Windsheim during the first days of the lockdown due to a dentist’s appointment and still had half an hour left by the time stipulated. Well, I’ve never seen this vibrant little town so devoid of people, but I guess, that's just the same in many places in the world right now. While standing in front of the inn, I felt a bit like being all alone in the whole town. As I had no other camera at hand, I took this photo with the camera of my Huawei P30 Pro smartphone.
Some background information:
The Franconian open-air museum in Bad Windsheim has a museum area of 45 hectares (450,000 m²), on which typical buildings from former times and different Middle-Franconian regions are put on display. The museum is divided in groups of houses and since its opening in 1982 still enhanced with additional buildings from time to time. These old traditional buildings would most often have gone to rack at their original locations. Hence by dismantling and reconstructing them one-to-one on the museum grounds, the district government of Middle Franconia, which operates the museum, does a good deed by delivering them to posterity.
Noteworthy with regard to the museum are also the numerous shows, in which craftsmen show their skills. In these shows, visitors can receive an impression of the way carpenters, cabinetmakers, stonemasons, glassers, coopers and blacksmiths used to work in the past. The museum also owns a hop garden and a brewery, where beer is still brewed the old way. Of course the beer can be tasted in the inns on the terrain and also be bought in the museum store.
The Crown Inn, which is now located near the entrance of the museum, used to be situated in the village of Oberampfrach in the administrative district of Ansbach before being dismantled there and reconstructed in the museum area. It was built in 1705 by the farmer Hans-Georg Krauss as a public house, which had the licence to brew its own beer. According to legend, the Crown Inn initially was a princely building with a rather opulent furnishing and a close connection to a concubine of the margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. But in fact this connection cannot be evidenced.
However after dismantling the nearby governor’s residence the Crown Inn’s ballroom also served as a courtroom for the area. It’s quite likely, that the then margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach had an own discrete room on the inn’s upper floor in which he amused during his occasional hunting trips. As the village of Oberampfrach and its Crown Inn were bordering an important long-distance trade route between France and the city of Nuremberg, this public house likewise most probably hosted many other notables back then.
The historic town of Bad Windsheim is located about 50 km (31 miles) west of the city of Nuremberg in the Bavarian district of Middle Franconia. It has more than 12,000 residents and is known for its companies bottling mineral water.
In 741, Windsheim was first mentioned in a document. At that time it was still a small settlement with a church dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours. This church was donated to the village by the Carolingian duke Karlmann on the occasion of the foundation of the bishopric of Wuerzburg. In the following centuries, the municipality increased and in 1190, a second church had to be built. In 1234, Windsheim was awarded market rights and already 14 years later, in 1248, the town was made a free imperial city that is a city under the emperor’s direct control.
In 1291, an abbey was founded in Windsheim and in 1393, the abbey was enhanced by a Latin school. In 1500, the Franconian Circle was founded, which Windsheim belonged to. The Franconian Circle was a federation of Franconian bishoprics, principalities, earldoms and free imperial cities in the centre of the Holy Roman Empire. The new title of a "Duke of Franconia" was claimed by the bishops of Wuerzburg.
Already in 1522, Windsheim’s dean began delivering the sermons according to the Lutheran doctrine and in 1525, the Reformation was implemented officially within the town walls. In the course of the Thirty Years’ War, Windsheim stayed mostly undisturbed. However, in 1632, the town had to host the likewise Protestant Swedish army twice, led by Gustav II Adolf, King of Sweden. After the war, Emperor Leopold I visited Windsheim in 1659.
In 1730, a firestorm destroyed major parts of the town but those were rebuit soon in the Baroque style. In the course of the mediatisation, Windsheim lost its rank as a free imperial city, becoming Bavarian for the first time in 1802. After a brief spell as a Prussian town beginning in 1804, it finally became Bavarian in 1810, which it still is today.
Windsheim’s brine springs were first mentioned as being fountains of health in 1752, but it took more than 150 years until a spa building was erected in 1906. In 1961, Windsheim was officially appointed spa town, being allowed to use the name affix "Bad". Since then, different spa facilities wer built and extended. Hence, the beautiful old town of Bad Windsheim has become increasingly popular with spa guests from all Germany.
Old summer's shoots. I found out I really like to shoot empty places. Kinda melancholic, I know.
