Excellent, Rob! And quite moody. Great clouds and I love the foreground highlight!

Great colors and shapes, @annehornsby! This shot might be called “Tools of the Trade.” Hmm… An idea for the next throwdown?

“One of these things is not like the others…” COOL Shot! @kayumanggisnapshot
The repeated wires, steps and rails are fun to follow. Where is this?

Much danger lies off the path… @greenlarry. Neat shapes and shadows!

Broken but meant to be replaced?

Good One! The angle of the red “crane” frames the hole very nicely. Thanks, @michaelnowak!

Old ghetto blaster, just dumped near farmland

Neat, Larry… I love contrast of the “silvery grass” vs. the “silvery plastic.”

June 30, 2026 at 5:38 pm #551608
Definitely broken!

Oh, I like this, @greenlarry… I love “forgotten places!” The collection of textures is great! It is my kind of subject. But, if I may, would you mine if I took the liberty of cropping this image a bit to make it stronger by itself (but maybe less about a broken place?). I would then post it here. If this is not allowed, I apologize. I’m new here. So, I’m not sure what “Allows Edits” means, LOL!

Love the way shadows go from dark to even more broken, brings back some memories I can actually smell this photo.

Hmm that’s not bad. I like having the hanging door in the shot though. Plus the dark vignette I put in

The antenna on the roof looks brand new. I wonder if someone still lives there or they just come to watch TV.

This is great, Jim! It feels like a giant sat on it. The autumn colors complement all the weathered wood very nicely.

Sadly we found this dead Jackdaw the other day…had to dispose of it before the cats found it.

-

YES… Broken beyond repair. Great contrasting textures, Larry!
I know all about your cat issue. We have a barn cat who has heen responsible for many a “bird autopsy.”-
July 5, 2026 at 7:20 pm #551881
I think this one was a casualty of a fight between other birds! There was a right squawking match going on outside one morning. Then we found the dead crow on the little roof above the front door

@patography, I love how the shallow DOF clearly frames a possible suspect.

Allows Edits? YesOne day that Mazda is going to be a collector’s item and some picker is going to come along and realise they’re sitting on a fortune. Today is not that day. lol

So someone decided that an old Mazda MX 5 would be a great place to stack downed wood? I love the collection of texures, @greenlarry, including the stone wall and greenery background.

Yea this is just inside the entrance to a cemetery!
