Description
My birthday road trip last weekend took me along California 138 between Palmdale and Gorman on Interstate 5. Along the road there are many signs of a decaying region - rusted vehicles, foundations where entire building stood.
This place is just one example of that decay.

Once it lived. Now it's a great picture!

It always tugs at my heart when I see something like this... someone's dream of life in rural America went down the tubes. This really has a quiet tone to it.

Most unfortunate that it had to have gone to waste... though makes for a creative and inspiring photograph such as this one! I always like to see things like these; and allow my imagination to wander... what was, & what could of been.... A lovely find and capture!

In B&W you make it appear quite sad - but taken in colour it probably could look quite hopeful?! I captured a derelict house last weekend which I hope to post some time. Nice shot.

Excellent B&W!

It does make an excellent photo and makes you wonder about who lived there when, why, how... I lived two years at Fort Irwin, 35 miles from Barstow in the high desert years ago. We used to drive around in the desert finding old abandoned mining camps...rusted hulks of cars, piles of ancient tin cans, etc. Life goes on:)

As Real Estate agents would say, here in Australia: 'A Renovator's Delight'... it's a pity, to let it go to wreck and ruin. Fine capture in monochrome, Cheers BB

the b&w is really fine, and the massed details are wonderful, as well as the light & dark. Yes, it's decayed, but as a picture it has real music. And the light/dark play spills all over the front of the shot. A terrific capture along the road, and your postwork to make it B&W it wonderful.
