Lion Wall Art

A small rectangular building that appears to be vacant now was home to a health business of some sort.  I've been wanting to take a photo of this wall art for several months, but there was a large car parked in front of it for a long time.  Today the vehicle was gone and all the signage was gone too.

Game Room in Ranger

Another abandoned building in Ranger, Texas.  The sign in the window says "Condemned".

This structure sits on a corner in downtown.

Front Wall

This is the front wall of a business that no longer exists at this site in Ranger, Texas.  It sits on a corner of the block.  It doesn't look like there was a fire, but there is no text or any markers indicating what type of business it used to be.

First United Methodist Church

This beautiful structure is located in Ranger, Texas but seems to be currently abandoned.  There is a For Sale sign (which I removed) and all the doors and windows are locked and shuttered.

The building was erected in 1920.

I couldn't find out any other information about it.

Second Baptist Church

This church building is located in Ranger, Texas.  In 2022 it experienced a huge fire and has been vacant ever since.

Almost a Hi Rise

I looked up at one of the almost hi rise downtown buildings in Abilene.  I'm not sure what the building is used for, but aside from the blue sky, there was a sun flare.  I made an image of it without the sun flare thinking I would like it better, but I don't. 

I only walked around for a short while~~it was 100 degrees, not the most enjoyable temps for making images with no real objective.

Abandoned Home in Abilene

These abandoned structures make my heart so sad. I always wish I could get into these places, but they're always locked tight.

Once Upon a Church

An abandoned/vacant church on the outskirts of Abilene, Texas.  

No indication about what denomination it once housed.

This Remodel is Taking a Loooooong Time

The house in the lot next to the church I photographed in the previous post seems to be under some construction.   I noticed this skeleton resting on the bench on the porch.

I couldn't resist getting a shot.

Downtown Office Building

This is one of the buildings in downtown Abilene.  The sky was a beautiful color blue with the puffy clouds, but when I turned the image to black and white, I really liked the way it looks.

Tiger Mural

This beautiful mural is painted on an abandoned warehouse in downtown Abilene, Texas.

Downtown Building

I thought this was an interesting perspective on this building in downtown Abilene.  

Years ago I was in Europe and a lot of the older buildings had many of their windows boarded up.

The tour guide told us it was because, once upon a time, there was a tax on the number of windows a building had, so the owners boarded the windows to lower their tax bills.

I don't think that's the reason theses lower windows are boarded, but it's an interesting idea.

Protective Railing on Basement Window

One of the buildings in downtown Abilene has these protective railings on the basement windows.  They're really beautiful even though the basement windows are boarded closed now.
