Haunted or Not?
| March 19, 2011 | Posted by Laura under Uncategorized |
This was posted on Facebook as a Halloween thing, something meant to be spooky, creepy, etc. I never see the old houses that way. To me they look sad, lost, a little mysterious and a stepping stone to our history, our identity. I feel bad for the houses when people think they are haunted or creepy. It’s like someone seeing your Grandmother and thinking she is ugly. I guess I do give the houses feelings, even though they are not living things, exactly. People name boats, give them a personality why don’t more houses and cars get names too? What would you name this house, in the picture above? What would you name your own home, whether it’s a house or part of a building that you live in?
Stories from Explorers
| December 3, 2010 | Posted by Laura under Urban and Rural Exploration |
I was invited to a new group on Flickr, Stories from Abandonment. This group is for urban and rural explorers who post a story about their adventures along with the photo. I always enjoy hearing some of the background story, anything from trouble with bees to how they found the location and what condition it is in compared to other times they have been to the same place. There are always some stories to tell.
Welcome to Stories From Abandonment, this group is about the journey and adventure of abandonment photography. Please include a short story with your photo detailing something interesting that happened along the way – like how you found the place, trouble you had, memories, information about the place you might have found or so on. There are plenty of other groups that just have photos of abandonment – this one is to stop and make you think and reminisce about why you like to do this.
Canadian Rural Ruins

I’m building a directory of links for Canadian rural ruins explorers. See the menu above. I will build more as I go along. But, I’m not making any promises about speed.
You are welcome to add a link. Make sure it is a relevant link being added to a relevant category. I’m not going to list your site just because you submit it. This is very much a human edited directory. I know because I’m the human.
