Buildings on an old Horse Farm

These are some horse buildings on a horse farm that is no longer in business in upstate NY.

The farm is being maintained as a historic site so the buildings are in good condition.

West Texas Rodeo

People waiting for the rodeo to begin in Abilene, Texas.  I love taking photos of people when they aren't aware of what I'm doing.

Friends and Family

Several years ago I was at a going away party for a couple who was moving away and we organized this fun photo of the folks who were there to say goodbye. 

I changed it to bw because I think it looks better than the color version. 

This is one of my favorite photos.

Car Dealership

This vacant/abandoned car dealership is located on a corner in Colorado City, Texas.  It looks exactly like it did 7 years ago when I first saw it.

Another Abandoned Home

I was driving down a road I've never been on before and came across this abandoned home.  There are so many of them in this area.  The roof is completely caved in but I couldn't get any closer because of the fence around the property.  

I wonder who pays the taxes, or if there are any taxes that have to be paid.

This looks like it might have been a nice home once upon a time.

Abandoned Church or Hotel

This abandoned blue building is located at the end of a road in Gordon, TX. The town is basically an intersection but there are a lot of homes in the area. Some of the homes are old and abandoned and some are newer and up-to-date.  The population in 2020 was 451.

There was no written documentation about what this structure might have been once upon a time, but the marquee in the front gives it the feeling it might have been a church or a meeting place of some sort.  It also reminds me of a small apartment building.

Abandoned Tool Shed

I drove through one of the alleyways in downtown Abilene today and saw this abandoned tool shed in the back yard of a house which was not in very good shape itself.

Alley Fire Escape

In the alley behind one of the businesses in Abilene, there's a black fire escape that covers the entire side of the building.  It's kept in perfect condition.

Number 203

I got my hair trimmed today in a town about 20 minutes from my house.  Just beyond that town, about 10 minutes farther, is Baird, where there's an amazing pizza place so I drove there

to order a pizza I could have for lunch and then leftovers.

While I was waiting for the food to cook, I walked around the tiny town with my camera and came across these numbers on this building and decided to grab a shot of them.  I've seen them before, just never took a pic of them. 

The weather was nice, about 52 F with a slight breeze.  I wish the weather would stay like this a lot longer but I don't imagine that happening.
