Skylights
This amazing building is now leveled. Where it once stood one can see rows of houses set close together. They are high-end homes, each selling for around $400,000. I can't even imagine that much money.
What a shame. And now, just across the street a large area of the old forest along the canyon where Oregon's endangered native frog and native salamanders once lived, has also been leveled. Their habitat has been destroyed.
The folks who bought the land are building a mansion and are putting in a filbert orchard. It is a crying shame--I was sure the land they bought was a green way which could not be touched. Mom says the frogs are gone. All gone.
They were abandoned.
I will post pictures when I can get them.

Skylight Glass Heart -Guest Heart Thursday
The last time Sissy and I walked through The Abandoned, I took this wonderful photo of the sun splashing through a piece of broken glass in the skylight.
If you look closely you can find hearts all over in the shattered glass. I find it amazing, that in the wake of vandalism, there is still beauty to be seen.
For more heart art, photography and altogether fabulous heart stuff from around the world, visit Clytie at Random Hearts for Guest Heart Thursday!

Through a Glass Darkly - Weekend Reflections
There is an almost cathedral-like feel to this skylight glimpsed in a reflection from a shard of broken mirror found on the floor of The Abandoned.

Milk Glass Hearts - Guest Heart Thursday
In The Abandoned, vandals have broken out nearly every skylight. The glass lies in gathered brokenness upon the floor. The patterns in this piece caught my eye--I was fascinated with them. Can you find all the hearts?!

Shattered Reflection- Weekend Reflections
As Sissy and I walked over the glass littered floors of The Abandoned this Shattered skylight caught my eye. At first I thought it was a stray bit of sunlight sparkling from the ruined skylight, scintillating up into my eyes.
But later as I viewed the photo on my computer screen--it appears there is a face at the shatter point in the glass. A child's face? Perhaps one of the shadow people written about in the scrawls on the walls of The Abandoned? We may never know.
