leaving this old farm house to it's loneliness and decay
Across the toll road from where we used to live in North Austin there was a bunch of old barns and storage sheds that had the look of abandonment. You almost don't notice them as your about to enter the tool road. I'm always focusing on the scary toll booths you have to drive through at speed or slow everybody down behind you. But one day I thought of them and I had some time to kill so I drove over there, hopped the fence and what a find. There was about six buildings falling into disuse over there, some big some small. And thanks to the local cattle that claim that land it was not over grown. It was like walking on a freshly cut lawn. Of all the photos from that day this is my favorite, the detail and the colors and the sky looked it's best in this picture. I don't think this paticular farmhouse is exactly abandoned, there was no doors and inside I noticed the frorund was littered with hoof prints. I supposed it now shelters the local farm animals...

Horse and Graffiti at sunset
This storage building is next to a major thoroughfare in north Austin, just down the road from our old apartment. It would catch my eye every time I drove pass and now and then there be a few horses grazing near by. Finally I got an opportunity to shoot it with the horse near by in decent lighting.
And this just looked like a nice scene here with the last light of the day hitting this tree. And these bushes are all over the place around Austin and they just look neat.
