***Thread 2 of the Preliminary July Photo Contest***

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!

This was such a great contest and so many excellent entries to choose from!

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to have a permanent DU photo gallery?

.

Those are windows in a dormer in the upstairs, not a hole in the roof.

Dozens of cattle are in the field in the foreground, and one can see 2 dwellings, garage and vehicle nearby . . .




But it's a beauty pic

The lighting was superb, I love how the sky is muted so that the focus is on the abandoned buildings. And you can see waves lapping at the base of the island.
