Draperies + gravity

022314

In my various wanderings, peering into abandoned buildings (or even going inside, briefly), I am always amazed by the kinds of things that get left behind when the school closes down, the business can’t make it, the homeowners leave.

This school has been abandoned since 1975, and the drapes are still there.

But, like everything else, those left-behind curtains are giving in to gravity.

You know who will win.

  3. This has to be one of your best, Melinda. I love that delicate light in all the individual panes that shows up where fragments of grimy glass still hang on.
