as it begins to fade away

I spotted this old mobile home from the road, but didn’t even request a u-turn. I know that seems unlike my usual methodology but I had my reason(s). I was heading for a location just up the road and I knew I’d be back by this old place.

Normally, I would have poked my camera through that broken jalousie window to photograph the inside but I was getting a pretty creepy vibe. And creepy vibes are definitely a thing I don’t ignore; no reason to find out the hard way that this was a Murder Trailer.

Arbor Flowers

This hand-made arbor was decorated with some artificial flowers, and a ribbon. The passageway under the arbor didn’t really go anywhere in particular, but still – it was a nice touch.

Something else I located inside the same church from yesterday, in the passageway from the kitchen to the sanctuary. I guess preachers need to check their look before the preaching commences.

Window Frame/Window (framed)

A frame, then a frame, inside another batch of frames. And some jagged glass, too, just to keep things interesting.

they continued to maintain an open-door policy

 

I have looked inside many abandoned buildings. And I will never, ever be able to accurately predict what I’ll see. I did not expect a kitchen in the back corner of this building that had a faded Lions Club emblem on the front. I didn’t imagine that all the doors would be open – or in that one case, hanging from a single hinge. And I didn’t even know that at one point the top shelves of dishwasher were a space-wasting circular design.

Photography: it’s educational!
