I grew-up in a place like that (in rural Minnesota) and as teenagers we were always hanging out in old abandoned farm houses, junked cars, train depots, trailor homes, ice fishing shacks -- at the time this was all we knew, and the only place we could go to drink beer we'd stolen from our parents. I think they didn't really become sad places for me until I left them behind. This post was a very bittersweet reminder.

My mother had a copy of that painting hanging in her room for years. It took a couple of viewings to realize that the photo you posted is indeed a photo. I thought it was a painting!

I like vertebrae. Both these photos are evocative of abandonment. The dusty, cobwebbed doll eyes speak melancholy volumes. Gee, the spine was my favorite part. I like vertebrae.

Good catch, but not sure I like the implications! Euw. . . so is that spine Christina’s? Good catch, but not sure I like the implications!
