Building in Colorado City

Today was a lovely weather day.  About 70 degrees with a slight wind. 

 By the middle of the afternoon I decided I needed to get out of the house and get some fresh air, so I drove to Colorado City.  I've been there before and taken photos there as well, but I never got this perspective of this abandoned building that might have been a hotel,

About 7.5 years ago I took some images of this structure.  At that time there were signs indicating that the building would be remodeled and refurbished.  So far that hasn't happened.

It's sad to see this structure continue to go to wrack n ruin.

Abandoned Power Plant 1

On the edge of Abilene, TX there's an abandoned power plant.  One of the members of our photo club got permission for us to get inside and photograph to our heart's content this morning.  

It was an awesome experience and it was so nice to have something different to photograph for a change. 

It was raining this morning when we got there and kind of cold, but after a  little while it stopped raining and got a little warmer.  There were probably about 15 of us wandering around the facility.

Abandoned Barn in Merkel, Texas

Today was another unseasonably warm day~~75 throughout the afternoon, so I decided to take a ride to one of the smaller towns nearby.  I've been there before, but I don't think it was during the Christmas season.  

This barn can be seen from the road leading into the town so I decided to make an image of it.  It's huge and I just can't figure out how it can just be vacant...doesn't someone have to pay taxes on the land?

No income from the barn and paying taxes, someone must have a lot of money.

Window and View

The other day my daughter, grandkids and I went to the abandoned Cisco Zoo.  While I was standing in one of the deserted cabins I looked out the window and saw this view.  I thought it was interesting, so I photographed the scene through the window space.

Abandoned home in very small town, West Texas.  Off to the right of the image, in what must have been a driveway at one time, was a car.  My friend said it wasn't too old, it had a license plate on the front bumper, but the registration had expired about 4 years ago.

Do people actually just walk out of a home, leave their car and never return?  

I can't wrap my brain around that.
