Down in Comely Bank, another part of Edinburgh, I added another couple of photos to my growing collection of shots of abandoned buildings.
I have been thinking now of how the eye is drawn to the wreck, the boarded up window, the collapsed roof, the weeds sprouting from the windowsill. So, a post, drawing a few of them together in my mind. some you may recognise if you’ve been following this blog a while -
Romantic Shack, Catalonia.
Ruined store (?), Ocate, New Mexico
Dead Restaurant, Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico
A window in Golden, New Mexico
Abandoned house on private property, Espanola, New Mexico
Empty house, Bruntsfield, Edinburgh
Condemned clubhouse, Dunbar
Pub, Comely Bank
This last one, along with the building in Bruntsfield, is not lost entirely. There was a sign in the front saying work would be done. At some point.
But how long is time, in a building without people?
Love photos of abandoned places. Yours stretch quite a way around the globe. Thanks for sharing them!
Thanks for looking at them. The ones from New Mexico I took while doing research for my novel. There are a few more kicking about on here in older posts. The post on Tierra Amarilla in particular.
I’ll check it out. Thanks. I love old places.
How long is time in a building without people? Now there’s an opening line.
I’m absolutely addicted to half-broken buildings – I could stand and watch them for hours. Storymaking or just admiring the decay. These are beautiful photos.
Thank you – it’s always quite an adventure, even just trying to get close to these places. I know what you mean about storymaking – they are such rich sources.
“…in a building without people.” I love the ruins and wrecks, as well…and admire your choice of words…again. Thank you, Helen.
Thank you. Need to go out looking for more. (words and buildings)
You’re welcome, Helen…and I think you’ve already got all the words.
