Abandoned' is the theme. It would include any inanimate object: places, machinery, vehicles, buildings, tools, etc. Just no abandoned people, animals, or plants. It's a challenging theme, and we have many wonderful, imaginative photos!
The threads will run 72 hours. Please vote and feel free to leave comments. We love to hear what you think!

(63,221 posts)All are so artistic and each one very beautiful in their own way. It was very hard to make a decision.
I think we should have a forum for DU photographic art so that we can go back and visit all these wonderful pics and have our own little gallery here. What do other people think?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
