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!

(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?
