I composed this image of an abandoned historic farm building while visiting the hamlet of Rowley, Alberta (population 11), a place now characterized as an Alberta ghost town.
For those interested, the history of this town is presented below.
Rowley (like many other prairie towns) was settled around 1910 by the families of nearby farmers to efficiently collect and load farm products onto trains bound for Calgary. The soils in the Rowley region are ideal for agriculture due to their high fertility.
It wasn’t long before the town of Rowley became a hub of activity: large fields were planted, harvested, and transported through the Rowley train station. Between 1915 and 1929, the local farmers built stores, banks, and other services in town so that they didn’t have to travel long distances to get what they needed. A school, post office, and church were built and Rowley was officially connected by rail to the rest of the province.
The Great Depression experienced across the entirety of North America had no mercy on its relentless tear across western towns. Rowley was no exception to the struggles of widespread drought and market collapse.
The grain industry lost most of its value. Farmers – used to dealing with hardships – toughed the economic ruin out and did their best to provide for their families and continue building the community despite the market. Farmers who had overextended themselves upgrading their farms and livelihoods were left being unable to afford the upkeep of their farm and business in town began to close.
By the 1940s people started packing up their belongings and using that new train station to leave town. Rowley, Alberta was in decline. The municipal district office was moved out of Rowley and fires had leveled many homes and businesses.
When Alberta’s highway system was constructed in the 1950s, Rowley was bypassed entirely and left behind. These roads made it easy for young people to leave Rowley in favour of Drumheller, Calgary, or Edmonton. In the 1950s, both the hotel and curling rink burned down and were never replaced. The school and railway station both closed down in 1965.
Ghost Crabs (Ocypode Quadrata). Focus stacked for 70+. Made the background come out odd but over all I like the result
Stoke Newington High Street, London. Some old advertising resurfaces above a modern Turkish restaurant.
Photo is the North Portal of the BNSF~ Lewis River Railroad Bridge Trestle, many folks have "attempted" to walk the tracks to no avail getting caught, at 6 minute intervals of trains traveling on both tracks...we call it the "Ghost Bridge" ~ Woodland, Washington.
Submitted this in our State Clark County Fair, taking over all 2nd in "class"! Then was awarded the "Judges Special Award", pretty overwhelming for such a great honor! Ribbon is huge...LOL!!
Thank you all for your visits, comments, faves and invites.

Ghost castle - The ethereal ruins of Kilchurn Castle, slowly emerging out of the early morning mist across Loch Awe.
A hauntingly beautiful sight in this remarkable and truly inspirational setting; the image of a ghost castle appearing across Loch Awe is an experience not easily forgotten.
Dalmally, Argyll and Bute, Scotland
Lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead
Singin’, come out if things aren’t said
Shoot an apple off my head
And a, trouble that can’t be named
Tigers waitin’ to be tamed
Singing, yooooooooooooo ohhhhhh
Yoooooooooooo ohhhhhh
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna, come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know
Singin’, come out upon my seas
Curse missed opportunities
Am I, a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease
two shadows drift into the blinding calm, swallowed by light, traced by concrete ribs that echo silence. the architecture breathes like a living cathedral—empty, precise, timeless.

Abandoned on the exposed cliffs of the Cornish Coast and battered by the Atlantic sea, the Crown Mines of Botallack stand as a monument to a bygone era of brutal hardship for those who worked in their dark and dangerous depths. Ragged, black rock rises up from the ocean, telling a story of fortunes won, the despair of lives lost and the inevitable tide of change.
Thanks for viewing, take care and stay safe everyone :-)
I discovered this ghost in my garden, all excited about some autumnal goodies he'd just spotted!

Another long exposure shot taken on the old Rolleiflex. The exposure here was for something like 35 or 40 seconds so the person standing on the right hand side somehow managed to stay relatively still for that entire time. (Thank you whoever you are!)
Note I had to crop this into a rectangular shape from the normal square format because I managed to get a piece of wall that the camera was sitting on across the bottom of the frame.

Albert Szukalski created the Ghost Rider in 1984. He draped plaster coated burlap over human models and after it dried sprayed polyurethane to help preserve it. The statue is displayed at the Goldwell Open Air Museum near the Ghost Town of Rhyolite, Nevada.
There is not much left of this town in Saskatchewan. Most buildings were removed. An old church, a couple grain elevators, and a few homes were spread out over the landscape. This old car stood out for me, so is the focus of the image.
No aurora Saturday night but the waning full moon was bright, Here the same view of Ghost river as February 23rd under a bright moon no northern lights.
Ghost Tree - We drove the 17 mile drive near Monterey. A must do if you visit the area. Although the weather was not as good as we would have wished, I got quite a few good shots. One is this picture from the so called "Ghost Tree". The fog in the background fits quite good here...

Shadows of the past in Bannack ghost town in Montana. This is the grand staircase inside the Meade Hotel.

Because when the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella . . .
