Pioneering

A friend and I went to a photography event a few weeks ago.  The field trip we went on was to an abandoned site of a pioneer village type attraction.  I got a few interesting shots.  There were several items that didn't quite fit into the classic pioneer time frame.  I suppose it depends on what you are pioneering.

That front piece of stereo equipment was Quasar, not even Pioneer.

What an awesome experience to stand next to these huge pillars and imagine what it must have been like to live in a home such as this.  The home survived the Civil War by being occupied by the Union Army, just to burn down in 1890 from a carelessly thrown cigarette.

The sky was disappointing the day we were there, but the websites below have some better shots.

Old Sheldon Church Ruins

Once again, I post something very old and beautiful that is definitely not rubbish.

Old Sheldon Church Ruins, near Beaufort, South Carolina.

I have included the Wikipedia link, but I recommend Googling it as there are several other informative sites about the ruins.

Window rubbish

Hi, everyone.  I am terribly behind as we were able to have a little vacation last week.  We went to Tybee Island, Georgia, and then to Charleston, SC.

This rubbish is not from either of those beautiful places, but I hope to get a few photos from the trip up soon.

Idyllic

Got it all here.

Rural, old, architecture, abandoned, fence, church, blue sky

Sometimes we avoid the interstate going back and forth to Nashville.

We found this gem this week.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, U. S. A.

I've always wanted to get photos of this abandoned property.

Finally, I wasn't driving and remembered to get the camera ready as we whizzed by on the interstate.
I would love to get in there and explore.

Shakes

Somewhere in extreme southern middle Tennessee.

I had to include one with the sweet little dog who enjoyed our visit and wanted to have his picture taken in front of his building.

The Granary

What's left of an old (actually, not that old) granary.  It burned several years ago not too very long after it was built.  It's pretty interesting . . . and creepy.  I would like to get closer.

It's on the Elk River in Limestone County, Alabama.

There are condos built right next to it.
