I usually wait till tulips are falling apart before I photograph them. I shot this in my lightbox with a Lensbaby Sweet 35 and a 36mm extension tube.
Abandoned and long forgotten. Not sure the story behind this one. On a facebook group for locals there was a short post saying that this house was in the process of being built and the owner abandoned the project nearly thirty years ago. Who knows? Enjoy the photo and try to ignore those pesky power lines!
Trimble County, KY

(Also thanks to everyone who has commented and fav'd my photos recently - I'm still trying to catch up!)
I never truly get the shot I want at this place as we are driving by on a small highway and this is set back a bit.
This one was not too bad.

Here's a different perspective of the same house I posted a week ago. This view of a solitary vacant house on a deserted street emphasizes a mood of abandonment and isolation.
Not far from Paris ON and a bit outside of Brantford ON, there is this abandoned place. It looks like it was nice place at one time. I always wonder about abandoned places.
Happy Window Wednesday
A local resident walked by as I was photographing this rickety old house in Brownsmead, Oregon. He explained that someone actually lived here about five years ago. Either this "someone" had zero utilities or the house rapidly disintegrated within that five year period. I guess anything's possible. Brownsmead is close to the ocean.
Sometimes I feel like this. Yet still bricked with beauty and character.
This was taken a few years ago in Ingersoll Ontario. Old train station. I have been thinking of visiting this again to see if she is still there.

Apparently there was too much trash on this property for the Junk Yard Dog. He ran off after seeing the squalor he would be forced to live in. This house is abandoned even though it’s condition doesn’t look too bad from the outside. There is the obligatory refrigerator on the porch. It still needs a sofa on the porch before it can be declared a Class A Historic Junk Yard Landmark. You will note that there are several trailers, a tractor, two boats and a camper. More than enough to label it as a Class B Landmark.
This is the last property off this rural road. This dirt driveway is private property, so I’d like to know where the power lines are going. HTT
Seen in the beach in the Westside Todnitzsee. (Spreewald, near Königs Wusterhausen, Germany). This little falling apart building (toilet room) might once have had glorious day. Now it’s a memory of the past, hidden in the woods.
I was just fooling with this shot last evening. I did not like it much in the beginning because it was a last second catch while driving by. A very small area to shoot through and no real area to pull over.
The treatment was in Topaz. Great little program.
Happy Slider Sunday
The backstreets are one of the most interesting things in these small italian towns. I like this shot because of it's multiple layers and the typical backstreet look :)
Done up for Daniel's Mystic Autumn challenge over at the Mystic Challenge Group. Great art there, check it out.

This is the old Train Station in Innisfil. It is really starting to look rough. It is a shame that lovely old building like this cannot be refurbished.

Some great abandoned finds today in the valley. This one was completely unexpected and a must stop the car moment as we turned a corner.
From the outside, this place looks like a church, but on the inside it was clearly a daycare center. Not sure how far back it goes, but it must be pretty old. There's an old wood stove sitting in the middle of the room once used to heat the place. I wonder how many kids got burned from that thing?... Oh, and that plaster ceiling is just about to come crashing down!!!
Also took some shots on film--to be seen later!
