Abandoned Treasures

 

Abandoned Treasures

While looking for ghost towns, Jeff and I came across a few treasures that were abandoned, just like the towns

Mellow Time

A quote from William Allingham seemed the most appropriate sentiment, not only for autumn, but also for this image.  The warm color of the leaves still on the tree relaxes you and invites you to sit back, enjoy their color, and just chill.

Shotgun House

A house you can see all the way through from front to back was called a shotgun house.  This view through this deserted house look a bit like a manmade tunnel.  The colors of the walls from outside and proceeding through to the back doorway, offer a bit of a rainbow in the tunnel!

Wood and Nails

The outside weather has worn this wood into something magical.  The tones of the wood, from dark brown to almost translucent gold makes the popped nails truly stand out against the golden tones.  The crisscross of the wood panels adds some texture and pattern in a bit of a random way.  It all fits together to form an interesting design.

Enjoy!
