i visited thomasville last weekend,and on the way home took some backroads. i saw this awesome tin shack on hiway 122. inside was some sort of old machinery,and it looked like it had an office or store up front.all a mystery now...

Piney Woods Road

this one , like so many, has boards on the windows,but,as usual, someone has already found a way in. i carefully crept in ( looking out for rotten floorboards) and saw some makeshift corner shelves with a bird’s nest on each shelf.

overgrown beauty

I drove by this overgrown place and had to go back.  i love rust, and i love when nature gradually takes over, one tendril at a time.

branch road

this one i found on a dirt road.  a typical two room shack with a caved-in add on in the back. all the mantles and hardware are gone, but the mystery remains...

antioch church road

i hope everyone likes shacks as much as i do.  i've decided it's high time i get out and document all the fading homesites, outbuildings, and barns that dot the countryside.  they hold so much history.  they're often hidden beneath an overgrowth of vines, trees, and privet on the side of the road. once you duck behind the wall of green, you find yourself alone with the mystery of who lived there.  i take pictures all around and peer in the windows to document the inside.  i have a rule, since i am tresspassing, that i don't go inside.  a lot of the floors are rotted out or about to.  i can be alone with the past, and i love it.  enjoy!
