A little Light on the Subject...

I found this wonderful light bulb in a pile of rubbish.  There's something translucent and magical about it. 

As you can see--it is quite large.  I took it home with me...wondering what I will create with it.  Any ideas?

Have a lovely week, Friends.

Mystery in The Abandoned

My sister and I walked along the main road to the new entrance of what was once The Abandoned.  Here is a roadside beauty I'd never seen before.  Such a luscious color of yellow.

The air was quiet after a day of dust and noise.  Since it was after hours, the equipment sat at attention along the new entrance and road.

I liked the texture of this machine's steel studded wheels.

Above you see a huge cake of dirt--just left in place for some undetermined purpose.

And the mystery of which I spoke?  Here it is...that green gathering of light near one of the caterpillar machines.  Is it one of the shadow people of The Abandoned? Or is it just a fluke of odd lighting in my camera.  One might wonder.

Have a lovely day!

The Abandoned--Abandoned No Longer

The deconstruction of The Abandoned is done now.  All the mysterious tunnels and tall buildings with their elegant curled stairways are gone.  Soon there will be houses built in this place.  I'm grateful they are leaving the green spaces.

The land, with its rolling hills and open vista reminds me of a big golf course.

This was once the parking lot of The Abandoned.  Strange to realize someday people won't even think about the place which once stood here.  I surely loved its mystery.

Crackle Mud Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Sissy and I went for a walk through The Abandoned last week.  She was the one who found this heart for me.  Who would have thought of looking for a heart in a crackly, dry mud puddle?  

Here is the view of all that is left of the main building.  You can't really tell it, but I am standing at the top of a very steep cliff.  The tracks of big equipment are actually far below.  Those piles of gravel are HUGE.  One can find the most amazing agates and rocks here.

Above you see the main building which once stood here.  They've done a very good job of  reducing the entire complex to bits and pieces of gravel and rubble.

It still seems magical to me.  Especially the forests which still surround this area.
