Looted and abandoned Buddha head. Left to lay on the ground for centuries. Only to be engulfed in the roots of a Banyan tree. Lifted up for all the world to see. #Abandoned #BlueSkyArtShow #nature #ancient #thailand #photography #monochrome #bnw #landscape #banyantree

Every time I drive by this house I want to stop and photograph it. #blueskyartshow #abandoned #EastCoastKin #photography #nikon #art

These #abandoned places are haunted by ghosts of struggle and determination. Someone tried. Someone lived a story here. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #RuralDecay #dreams #story

My last contribution for today's #BlueskyArtShow with the theme #Abandoned. While this photo might not have much artistic value, it nevertheless has a great deal of significance to me. Please read the Alt text for the full story. Photo taken September 2018.

For the #abandoned theme - a (raccoon?) #skull in a neighbourhood garden. #BlueSKyArtShow #canon #nature #naturephotography #gardens #naturephoto #canonphotography #photographer #photographersofbluesky

What a week!

This vehicle. The panel truck version of my father's old 1961 Willys Jeep, his being a pickup truck. I've ever seen a yellow one! I wonder if this one was a commercial delivery truck? #Abandoned #Photography #EastCoastKin #Landscape Please click the post below ⬇️ to Follow ⬇️

Last one for me for the #BlueSkyArtShow under the #Abandoned theme. This was from a group show I did that was a street art themed installation in an old industrial center. My piece was a photo essay on the building itself. #EastCoastKin #photography #urbex

Nobody’s Home It's Saturday and that means it’s #BlueSkyArtShow. Today’s theme today is #Abandoned #EastCoastKin

#BlueSkyArtShow #Abandoned #Photography #TomOgburn “Memories exodus" In 2019 I sat to eat a picnic lunch I'd bought at a Mom & Pop cafe just 30 miles south of this table. There are ways to decipher these structures; this one was built in 1934 by young hands. #EastCoastKin #Landscapes #Architecture

#BlueSkyArtShow #Abandoned #Photography #TomOgburn “Architrave, Hue and cry, the Scorpion's lair of the desert's Sun” A small dying town in Montana brought me to a halt as I realized just how many "For Sale signs" I had just seen within four city blocks #EastCoastKin #Landscapes #Architecture

Rust & shattered glass rise from earth. The wind moves, but the crumbling bricks do not. Vulnerable & open to the sun, it daydreams away the day - content in its lazy decay. #BlueSkyArtShow #Abandoned #Photography #photographersofbluesky #PoetrySnippets

I couldn't let the day go by without at least one creepy old farm house. I know how to edit better these days. Might be time to revisit this one. #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Abandoned all day Saturday #EastCoastKin #photography #FarmHouse

#BlueSkyArtShow #Abandoned #Photography #TomOgburn “Soon past liaisons” It had been at one time a small natural foods & organic grocery, based upon the exterior. While I lived there for three years, it looked like this. My guess is now it's been completely razed. #EastCoastKin #ShotOniPhone

#BlueSkyArtShow #Abandoned #Photography #TomOgburn I don't know if my home state will continue to honor those men in this way, I wish to believe they will, but we're failing fast. I hope these stones outweigh the greed of those who are claiming leadership. #EastCoastKin #ShotOniPhone Story-ALTtex⬇️

It’s still winter at my place but I already see first pictures of spring around #bluesky which makes me longing for hikes and treks so hard 😭 What do you think about wintercamping though? #camping #scape #photography #winter #lake #landscape #nature #travel

Haunting reminder of time’s grip. #Abandoned #lanzarote #blueskyartshow

Amongst the birches

I don't make many nighttime posts but here goes. This is the Donna Kay, ran aground a few years ago in the Florida Panhandle on Cape San Blas. We photographed her on a moonless night. The blue lights are shrimp boats. #photography #landscape #astrophotography #scape #EastCoastKin

I don't know who needs this information, but Van Gogh's "Olive Trees" has returned to the MIA after yea these many months. I could have sat in front of it all day.
