Recovery at the State Hospital
One of the more interesting places I visited in Traverse City, Michigan, is the site of the old Traverse City State Hospital (originally known as the Northern Michigan Asylum) which operated for over a century from 1885 until 1989. After sitting abandoned for over a decade, the site began to be redeveloped into the Village…

Michigan Barns
The barn above was just around the corner from where we stayed last month in Traverse City, Michigan, so it was an easy target for a brief photo outing before I started work for the day. This was one of those situations where you had to choose between color in the sky early and light…

Wyoming Windows And Walls
I spent a few days in Cheyenne, Wyoming, back in May. I was able to steal a few hours to wander around with my camera. As usual, I found myself exploring a rather tired part of town. Eventually I am going to be able to make a whole gallery of broken windows along the lines…

Tired Places in Old Madison
Madison, Alabama, has a cute little historic downtown. It’s not large—only a block or two long—and although it looks fresh and well-manicured, if you stray even a short distance beyond that immediate area there are a lot of structures that have been abandoned or neglected. It’s entirely predictable where I ended up. The building above…
