***Thread 1 of the Preliminary July Photo Contest***

[CaliforniaPeggy]

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!

10. ALL OF THEM!!! I voted but they're all fabulous.

True confession: I look through them and choose my favorite 4 or 5, which I generally can't decide among for a favorite one, and then I vote for the one of those 4 or 5 with the fewest votes.

13. I voted for The Farm Of Yesteryear since it reminds me of a place in Washington State where

I picked apples and blackberries that were welcome survivors, at least to me.

striking. Now, on to the other two threads....

26. I chose Another Roadside Attraction....

or Long ago and far away in America (which I think is the way superior title ❤️ ).

I love the use of color, and B&W together.
Not able to quite put into words yet. 🤔

[Bluepinky]

27. They were all wonderful, but I chose Too Many Winters.

The placement of a small house at the base of those magnificent, beautiful mountains appealed to me.
