I couldn’t think of anything more fitting for the end of this crazy year that an abandoned building. I think there are many of us who would love to abandoned so many things about 2020: pandemic fear and isolation, raging political division,
There are some things about this year that I am grateful for. My husband and I have learned that we are very compatible. We work well together as well as live well together. And this year has been about immediate, household togetherness. I have learned that it is possible to live a semi-normal life during a pandemic. We have been fortunate to live were we do. Our business is small enough that we can have the office open and still observe social distancing (when you work with engineers, there’s actually no other kind of social anything except with distancing). I’ve learned how to accessorize with different types and colors of masks. Mostly, I have grown closer to my family and a few close friends. Even when we can’t be together in person, we can still uplift and support each other and feel the love that we share.
I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year and that 2021 is brighter and better than 2020.
(P.S. I have learned that since I took this picture earlier this fall, this building has been demolished.)
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR MORE) OF SOMETHING ABANDONED.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

Let’s hope for a good 2021. With open playgrounds. All the best to you and your family, Nancy!
Thank you! The same to you and yours!
Wishing you the best for the new year. On a side note, what a shame that lovely house was demolished.
Thank you. You, too!
I hate that they demolish these beauties. Most times here they incorporate them into the new buildings. Not the greatest idea, but at least adds some character to these condo blocks.

Happy new year! I am going to try and post weekly in 2021.
Here they do try to save what they can. This building was so structural unstable that it would have cost a small fortune to save it.
Yes, you are very fortunate! So am I, all of our three adult children have been able to keep their job. We moved to a more affordable location with a better state governor. That all in a downturn, I am more than thankful!

From an abandoned castle to an abandoned grocery store:

I’m so sad the building wasn’t saved. It was beautifully built.
Yes it was. 🙂
