Since I first picked up a camera in the spring of 2008 I’ve traveled all over the state of New Hampshire making pictures.
Here are a few of the things I’ve found abandoned along the way.

Amazing 🙂 “Looking Out From the Decay” is my favorite, I think… Always such difficult decisions!
Thanks you! The best choice, so as not to stress too much, is to simply like them all 😉
Wait, “Last Resting Place” and “Abandoned Barn” are awesome as well. I’m so indecisive haha.
Please see last reply… 😛
Well that goes without saying, they are all lovely 😀 I would pick any one of them any day!
And I thought I was up early. But I’m headed to the Maine coast for sunrise, what’s your excuse for being up at this foolishly early hour? 🙂
Well the trick is that I haven’t gone to bed yet! No way I would be able to get up at this time, heading down is much easier haha.
Love this. Reminds me of some of the barns, including family barns in N.E. Wisconsin. Thanks for the memories.
You’re very welcome Deb. Aren’t old barns great! For me, the older, more run down, neglected, ready to fall in on themselves, the better. Sure there’s something about those picture perfect, red and white well manicured barns, but there seems to be so much more history in the long forgotten ones. Though I admit it is also sad to see such a great structure in such a state of neglect.
Totally agree. I love older barns and yes it is so sad to see some of them falling down. My parents bought my great grandparents farm on Washington Island. It was old when they bought it in the ’80’s and they didn’t keep up the maintenance. Half of it fell down, the half us kids played in. He used up the barn wood, which is cool but we lost history. I have some shots of the barn from last fall I will have to revisit. Saddest thing is now that Mom is gone, he has it up for sale.
Sadder still it will likely be bought up by a developer and have a housing development on it before you know it. There’s a farm near me that’s up for sale. Absolutely gorgeous piece of property too. If only I had the money…
Exactly, if only…
First thought out of my mind when I looked at these fabulous captures – so much texture :).
Ah yes, the textures! Old weather wood and rusting steel, does it get any better? I don’t think so.
Superb! I like the overall theme of the colour.
Thank you very much Paul!
Love all this old machinery!
Thanks Brett. New Englanders sure love to leave stuff where they last used it when they’re done with it, that’s for sure.
I like so many!! If I had to pic the one abandoned building with the sun coming up speaks to me.
Thank you very much. It is a pretty cool old place. May need to revisit it soon.
Stunning images.
Thanks!
beautifully forgotten and found by you… gorgeous every time!
The wonders of New England. There are old buildings, old cars, and old farm equipment all over the place.
like a treasure island in its own way! you’re the lucky one! (but I must say some places in Chile also make me feel very lucky to be or have been there…)
wow! rich and crumbling images. you came across all of these sites by chance?
Not all, but most of them. The truck frame, the farm wagon, and the equipment from the granite quarry are pretty much in the woods. I stumbled across the frame and wagon in the woods near my house. The quarry is fairly well known by locals, and someone I know took me there. You’d have a hard time finding it without pretty good knowledge of the area.
The barn and gas pump were on an abandoned farm in norther NH. Pretty much road side though.
Perfect… 🙂
nice pictures.
Thanks!
Wonderful shots as always. Time passes by, but not without leaving traces.
That it does.
Such beautiful photos considering the title of the assignment. Well captured.
Thank you. For me beauty isn’t always about pretty flowers and sunrises.
I totally agree!
A perfect gallery for the challenge, Jeff – all wonderful!
All wonderful Jeff. I’m partial to the B&Ws, and I particularly love the little cottages.
Thanks Tina. I really need to play around with B&W more. I’m trying to teach myself to “see” in B&W more. Since I shoot RAW, I often set my camera to monochrome so the LCD preview is in B&W. That helps me see at the time of capture what might work. And since I’m shooting in RAW, I still have the full color file if it just isn’t going to work.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing so many of them.
Thank you Michael.
Rust in peace. Really a great collection.
That’s a perfect way to describe them Ray, thanks!
These are really nice photographs of all things old and abandoned. Nice job, as usual. 🙂
Thanks Cris.
Well, thank you. I appreciate that. That means a lot to me.
Did you know that Getty Images has released some 35 million, if I remember correctly, of its images to be used by anyone? You just have to use its embedded code to properly identify the photo.
I’ve already used it for my Odds and End Thoughts blog, although I haven’t yet posted it. Most of the time, I’m not able to find something of my own appropriate for use in that blog, but I like to have a supporting photo for each post.
