Left Standing

An abandoned house, with a broken window and one shaky wall left standing. I was fascinated that I was standing outside, looking through a window at a house being overtaken by nature.

An abandoned wooden house with a missing window and one wall left standing, surrounded by lush green trees and undergrowth.

This image was taken at Barker Woods Nature Preserve in Michigan City, Indiana one summer. By a year later, the wall had completely collapsed. Another very dissimilar scene from this one was featured in “Peace and Tranquility.”

  1. Fantastic find, Pepper! Thanks for sharing with Monday Window ๐Ÿ™‚.

    1. My pleasure.

  2. What stories could that wall tell?

    1. Oh, I’d love to hear those stories! ๐Ÿ˜Š

  3. You were lucky to stand inside and remain unscathed by that one piece hanging down. Look how green everything is!

    1. I captured this image on a warm summer day a few years ago. I guess I’ve got sunshine on my mind. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      1. It is a good topic to think about in this weather. My post tonight is about a walk I took in September, but there were lots of flowers and for the most part it was still green.

        1. Headed there now to have a look. ๐Ÿ˜Š

  4. I’m glad you got the photo when you were there. It’s a beautiful image.

    1. Thanks, Dan. I am glad I did too. ๐Ÿ˜Š

  5. A great find Irene ๐Ÿ˜€

    1. Thanks, Brian. I am glad I got a shot of it on my first visit there. Within a few months, it was a very different scene.

Thoughtful words accomplish much.
