I was driving on a remote road in the Texas Panhandle when I spotted this abandoned farmhouse. Because the terrain was flat and the house was so big, I saw it for a while before I got to it.  I debated stopping to photograph the place – I was on my way to the first day of a photographic journey and had a lot of project-related things to shoot before the sun went down. But I did stop, and it was worth it. As always when I see places like this, I was mystified at the things that had been left behind by the last occupants. This sofa did not make the cut, for reasons that will always remain unknown.
