Abandoned – Photography in Pearls

Photo Challenge – Lens-Artists: Unique

This week we are asked to share something that is unique to us.

I travel a lot each month and usually take the back roads. It takes longer than the interstate but the drive is always more interesting and I don’t have to deal with the heavy traffic.

There are dozens of small towns along the way and it’s sad to see how once flourishing towns are literally disappearing before my eyes.

Abandoned buildings have been taken over by trees, vines and weeds…but each still has a unique story to tell if only someone was there to tell it.

Photo Challenge – Lens-Artists: Doors

This week Tina has given us the topic of “doors” as our challenge.

I love looking at old abandoned buildings. I always wonder at the stories those walls could tell if only they could talk. They fascinate me so I won’t hesitate to stop and grab my camera when I see one on my many trips. Luckily, my passengers have become used to this and don’t mind the many stops.

You have to turn off the main roads though and drive through some small towns. Unfortunately some of the small towns are almost completely abandoned and it’s sad to see. Other small towns have found ways to revitalize and businesses are flourishing. But those aren’t as fascinating to me.
