Weathered, Battered and Neglected

The title says it all. Feel free to post your like pics.

Nice! I love the 1st and 2nd shot! These are framers :D

All nice. I like second and third best.
This thread might get huge in a hurry. Fortunately I don't have time to dig a few hundred out right now.

I have the wagon to go with your barn. Love that barn.

An old one - a little bit of glass left in one of the windows...

Old, battered and neglected is a popular theme.
This is one of my favs and someday I might get around to printing it.

These are all very nice and dead on the theme. I really think a lot of people will have images to contribute to this thread. In the mean time here is another new one from me and one that I posted in the gallery earlier this week but this time it's b&w.

OT, # 2 & 3 are my faves! Very nice.

:)

Great idea Larry.

That 5th shot in the first group has an amazing mix of tones, texture.:thumbsup: All very nice finds.

Here are a few from a hike today.

Keep Shooting! :thumbsup:

I came across this place sitting by the rail road tracks Saturday afternoon during my travels and thought it would fit this thread.

This is a perfect thread for you Alex. Glad to see you contributing. Very nice shots, they are right on theme.

Shot 03.05.09

I think it meets all three qualifications.

What was that place, OT?

If you are asking about the last place by the tracks I'm not sure what it was originally but by the looks of the multi electrical meters it had been turn into apartments somewhere down the line. I would think it was some kind of general store originally.

Great find and it fits the theme perfectly. These kind of derelict vehicles are getting harder and harder to find.

From the same general area as the last one. We might add abandoned to the thread title.

. . . from a local junkyard I frequent.

'Seldom Seen' ... Seldom Seen is on the Gelantipy Plateau, in the south eastern uplands of the Australian Alps.

At Seldom Seen everything is seldom seen except for the smokey atmosphere which is always seen. The old high country cattlemens huts are very enjoyable to visit, the views are always stunning and they are great places to stay in.

Weathered, battered and neglected many are ... but the Kosciusko Huts Association is restoring as many historic alpine huts as possible.

Another find sitting at Ottawa International - neglected for now, but will probably be used for training firefighters and crash rescue personnel ?

Comment on the picture with the train tracks and red building....
I really like this photo a lot! They way one track leads into the distance and the other comes in to the scene and back out with the nice curve adds interest to the photo. I have to say that the colors and the detail are very nice also. Maybe a little less sky on the top. The over all picture just goes together very well for me and I think it's great. Jeff :thumbsup:

I titled this, "Dam Honey!" I guess we gotta to move now.

Being 100 years after the event,is some-what late for photography ... but at least the artefacts remain, thanks to the overly dry environment, in my neck-of-the-woods..

. . . looks like a nice little "fixer upper" - great pics and captions ! :thumbsup:

Well, Young Grasshoppers, I went to visit my next-door neighbour Srigg.. It took about 4 hours drive to get his place. Stigg lives close by thank goodness.

When I met Stigg he said, "Park your Tardis over there Sunshine, on my pateau"

Not wanting to be a rude guest, I did what Stigg insisted ... and there was a perfect spot on his pateau, to park my Tardis.

I hope you all have the time to go time travelling,.This thread is a very good jumping off point.

Wasn't sure whether to drop these here or in the graveyard thread, but since it's not a traditional graveyard...

The more the merrier. Post as many as you like that are on theme. You've made some very nice additions to the thread.

This was at an abandoned theme park, turned secret skate park, called 'Splendid China'

This building is actually a mini-building, but some of the real buildings were fun to shoot as well.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...4/DSC_0075.jpg

Wow, blur out the trees directly behind it a little and you'd never know it wasn't full scale, even the rubble seems appropriately sized!

yea i know. it could fool me and i was there haha

for anyone that cares, it's actually about 12 ft. tall, and there's a bunch of mini-things there. There's even a mini great wall that runs along one of the park's sides. it's a pretty cool place

The former Front Entrance of the QE Park Highschool. The building is still in use as a community center, just not the front entrance anymore.

Delicious Decay.

Found this beside a garage down the street. I think it qualifies for the thread.

Hey, OT. I've got one of those. Found it in a dump in ' 65 near the Bremerton shipyard.
Practice dummy from WWII so I was told. I use it for a plant stand. Mine still has paint on it though. I'll try to grab a pic later.

OT - really hope that mortar shell is a dummy, not a UXB.

I can assure you I didn't get any closer that the 105mm would let me nd I sure didn't touch it.
