Abandoned places. They make me sad. I can't pass one without imagining why it is like it is and what it was like when it had life. And many, I know, will not be around for long-as not many are 'saved'.
Shown here are some of the places I 'saved' on film. Some are gone, some were 'saved', some persist in their sad state.
