On Wednesdays all over the internet bloggers post a photo with no words to explain it. The idea is the photo says so much it doesn’t need a description.

Still love cruising through all the photos from that trip, Cid … even those we chose not to include in the travel blog! (https://ahardleftatflagstaff.wordpress.com/calgary-flagstaff-dublin/)

I like that while so much of this one has crumbled, it still has a door.

I’m out of the loop, Cheryl, so hadn’t realized this was a series. It’s a compelling one. I agree that there’s something fascinating about abandoned buildings. We know they have stories to tell, of their promise when new, the succession of people who used them, and later their decay. If only they could talk. I love driving north of here along the country roads of York Region and looking at tumble-down houses and barns. Every one is unique.

I have never, but would love to sit inside a ruins like this, or any deserted house, to sit there for a long stretch, bring a sandwich, a notepad, and just let the ghosts tell their story. This is a good one in which to sit… no roof or wonky walls threatening to collapse in on you. Enjoying your series very much.

Ooooh Carin, that sounds amazing! And I’d love to do something like that. Problem is these ruins are so ruined they are unsafe inside and out. I also get a kick out of standing as close as I can outside and holding my camera up to a window, taking random shots.

Oh I so agree with the sadness these picturesque ruins evoke. How could the builders, optimistically or perhaps frenetically piling stone on stone, have imagined that in some later era people would stop and admire the beauty of their ruined work and dreams! Yet how valuable to record them, to value them — like this!

You always have such a unique viewpoint, Barabara … ‘… how valuable to record them, to value them …’ I never thought of it that way. Thanks.

My brother used to walk around Italian cities exclaiming delightedly, “Glorious decay!” This is more like “humble decay”, but equally fascinating in its history, in my opinion anyway.

Stunning to think this is how shelter was built in the desert ‘way back when’

That’s wonderful Cheryl. It looks like something from ancient lands in Africa or such. I can absolutely see why you are mesmerized by, and love to stop and take pictures of these ‘ruins’.

Found this curiosity in New Mexico near Billy the Kid’s grave site in Old Fort Sumner, Allison.

New Mexico, wow! Whenever I see images of tumble down places I wish I could photograph them, but they also make me a bit sad.

Me too, Gilly … the sad part. Can’t help but wonder ‘when’ someone built this, ‘how’ they built it and ‘why’. Emergency shelter? Homestead? Start of something new? Lost? Etc.
