  2. As a child wandering in those mountains, often the abandoned cabins would have old newspapers on the walls for insulation and old rusty cans from food and tobacco...we thought it was all just there for our entertainment. Love the wabi-sabi aspect of your post.

  6. Poignant when thinking of the history and the people who used to live there. Beautiful (more than that even) as pictures.

  7. These buildings still have a beauty and a strength so many years later. In Australia white ants/termites destroy many older buildings. Wonderful light on these photos Barb.

    I too saw old buildings in our trip this summer. Some are rickety but I see the beauty in it.
