A second abandoned, overgrown small building by the side of the road, this time in the opposite corner of the country: Florida. The header photo above is of a controlled burn along the road to Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Naples, Florida.

I really like this one Lynn. Great sense of momentariness and place. Plus, It’s haunting for me… I grew up just north of there.

Your comments are always worth thinking about. I didn’t know you grew up in that area. I visited twice, in Jan., flying in to Ft. Myers, renting a car, and driving all over the place in search of birds and landscapes and glimpses of “real” Florida. Driving a little inland was very interesting – the farms, an old cemetery…wish I could get back there as easily but I need to find the western equivalent.

The panhandle has lots of pockets of “old Florida” although the birding is certainly better the further south you go. Your picture really stoked my memories of pre-development Pinellas County. Love the picture.

Yeah… I prefer to take photos outside, but it’s usually the interior that is the most interesting part. 🙂

This is one of my favorite themes and you certainly did a nice job of capturing it. I love old, abandoned buildings. Unfortunately, the ones around my neck of the woods are fenced off. People don’t seem to like “trespassers” around here.
As for me, for this theme I would normally go after old abandoned farm houses and barns, but this time I decided to do something a little bit different. You’re welcome to come and see my take on the matter. 🙂

I took a look – thanks! I love old places too. But it’s true, sometimes the most interesting places are hard to get near.

Apparently, this is not such a problem in Great Britain, as there are a lot of old—re-e-e-e-ally old buildings which are open to further investigation, according to some of the people I’ve communicated with over there.

Lovely image you’ve processed here BB .
You make me want to beat a path to the door and explore some more … just a hint with the windows ajar and an intact light bulb outside maybe it’s not been empty for too long perhaps …

You noticed the light bulb – I love that detail – thanks Poppy! Can you imagine what the inside is like though, in that humid, tropical climate, with a window left open…
