You need to stop destroying houses just so you can photograph them.

LOL! Actually, I wish vandals would not destroy these houses, and let time do its work instead. Decay is beautiful, destruction not so much

Thanks Krista and Mike for your comments!

Not one of my favorite of your compositions. Kinda "meh, ok" for me. You know I'm a fan, though.

Lots of little, interesting tidbits in there to look at. The door seems to be the major subject for me.

Cool, just make sure when you use a wide-angle lens to watch your verticals. I think it would be greatly more successful if they were aligned. I have the same problem, always

I'm kinda in the boat with manaheim. I love your shots usually but this one doesn't leave me going wow. Its alright but I find the shot lacking somehow.

You two are in my doghouse now

I've been shooting with ultra-wide-angle lenses for a few years and I'm still learning to control the distortion... Definitely not easy, so I feel your pain.

Gosh, where do you find all these places?

The wide open prairie. My buddy and I head out of the city every weekend looking for abandonments. If we happen not to find anything, at least we can enjoy the immense skies for a few hours.

Thanks everybody for taking a look and commenting!
