| Abandoned farm near Arnayon - Drôme, France. |
[08 May 2012|04:25pm] |
According to what I heard, this ancient farm was a center of the local French Resistance, during World War II. A perfect place to hide, lost in the mountains, in the depths of the forest... and now completely turned to ruin.
A very mysterious place, where imagination gets easily carried away.

While visiting a friend of mine in Indiana, he showed me one of the many older buildings on the property... the wood in this dates back about 150 years ..
I apologize for the quality.. this is an older shot of mine, back when I first started getting interested in photography..and for some reason I thought thick black borders were the Neatest Thing Ever.

On a different journey across the states, I finally stopped at a place I'd passed multiple times before. Cuervo, New Mexico, off of I-40. A tiny abandoned railroad town. There are about 50 people that live there now.

While on one of my multiple drives across the country, I came across this church in Milford, Nebraska.. From what I have researched it's an old Mennonite church. I stopped and grabbed a couple of shots of it before heading on..

| Abandoned Places – East Lancaster “Dead Farms” (2008) – Part 2 |
[05 Apr 2012|03:59pm] |

I wanted to get this set finished before this weekend. I'll be in Atlanta presenting on Abandoned Site Photography for the third year at Frolicon.
The remaining two sites my kids and I went to that day back in 2008 were much older but increasingly battered. The desert was actively wearing them down as evidenced by the rapidly increasing winds around us that day. The 3rd house was rapidly decaying. The 4th showed signs of ‘recent’ use, but in the desert, recent is a relative term.

| Camping In The Obstacle Course! |
[04 Apr 2012|07:31pm] |
Okay, I took these pictures last year at a camp ground called Whispering Pines. Apparently there used to be some kind of obstacle course there for some kind of corporate team building exorcise. Years later the remnants of the course is still there, and people just camp around it. There's also other random stuff, like abandoned vehicles and trailers. The place certainly has character, that's for sure.

| Abandoned Places – East Lancaster “Dead Farms” (2008) – Part 1 |

Here’s a blast from the past. In April 2008, I did several wanders into the desert around Lancaster with my kids. I recently recovered these images from a storage drive that failed.
These would be some of my last Southern California explorations before moving to the wilds of Northern Alabama. We explored 3 sites on this trip before the winds came up so strongly that they created a dust storm. The houses were all within sight of each other but not part of the same farm. In each case, they appear to have been departed in haste (foreclosed).

Abandoned farmstead in rural WV. It's a neat old place -- the house proper burnt down many years ago, but a cool root cellar/cellar house remains, along with some other unique structures.
