Stroll Abandoned

[Bart J D]

Another part from this property might perhaps explain what happened.
There are indications of a fire, not all that recent though.

An abandoned primary school, specifically my old primary school. Originally built in 1951, it’s being knocked down due to being dated. That exposed bit on the top floor was my old classroom, so some of us thought we’d give it one last look before the demolishers complete their job. (Lots of very early memories in that building; teachers walking around in a daze as the news John Lennon had passed, being allowed to watch the TV showing live coverage of the first ever space shuttle taking off etc etc).

Hey! I was born in 1951, and I'm not ready to be knocked down yet.

I agree, Lawrence. I'm 4 years before that.
Mother Nature has been trying to kill me since I was about 7 months old. Obviously, she hasn't succeeded yet, but it's a competition I can't win ...

Yes, we are all eventually released from this moral coil, but I'm not planning on moving on anytime soon. Meanwhile I'll enjoy the textures, tones, and shapes of abandoned things for the beauty they can lend to a photograph. The visuals of decay can be compellingly lovely.

Two photos of an old abandoned barn on the base of an 11,000 foot mountain in Wyoming. In the second image, notice the remains of a log structure in an overgrown creek bottom.

The large vent on the roof could indicate a storage building, perhaps grain?

Could be...or maybe an icehouse as someone pointed out to me...

Camp de Rivesaltes, ex German POW camp near Perpignan, France, from WW2.
It was 39°C when we visited. We didn't stay long!

The local authorities usually fence off abandoned urban tunnell walkways but they forgot to do that on this particular one (not that I ventured into it; would you?).

House is boarded up, but the garden is hanging on.

Found this a few years back in the Pahsimeroi Valley of Idaho. I wonder if it was ever remodeled and installed.
