Amazing pictures, as usual!

Maybe you could include a picture of Mickey Rourke's face. :)

Oh my, you captured everything. I love them all.

My favorites are the first and last, the rusty building, and the bus station rocks. I like both the color and b/w.

Excellent choices, all. Love the variety.

Really fantastic photos. I am always intrigued by old grown over properties especially in the spring when you see bright cheerful jonquils coming up! Makes you wonder where everyone has gone and why a relative did not want the place.

Welcome to the Garden of Egan said...

Great pictures Gigi! You really should add pictures of my hubby....he's aged and weathered!

ellen said...

Those are all cool! Good job!!

SusanD said...

Fabulous pictures. I really like the building w/the balcony.

The photos of the grand-girls too. They sure bring a smile just by their joy of life.

Blessings, SusanD

Fabuloso! Gigi, you have some great pictures. The photo with the red and blue chairs reminds me of a scene in a movie having to do with the civil rights movement. I don't know why I thought of that, but that's what it makes me think of.

I like the tanks.......but all of your photos are amazing. I love all this old stuff. Like Mildred said, it makes you wonder where everybody has gone.

Connie said...

That first house reminds me of my grandparent's house. Do you think the sign means that there are honey dipped donut sandwiches? If that's the case, I think I know where everyone went...cholesterol will eventually take care of ya.
Great pictures.

Mikki said...

Fantastic shots Gigi!!! I really like that first one, up top, but they're all pretty awesome. You're getting better, and better, and better, and better......

Sarah Lulu said...

Wonderful my friend!

Loved all the houses ..the chairs and that last shot!!!!

Unknown said...

wonderful shots - love the sign.

Dawn in D.C. said...

Oooh, I love your aged and weathered photos! I'm just glad you didn't use a picture of me, now that I'm a year older and all. LOL

Suburban Girl said...

Nice choices. I especially like the trunks.

Katherine Roberts Aucoin said...

You got some really great shots. I don't know why but the last one I really like with the lock.

NanU said...

Excellent post! That last one of the house is my favorite.

Kerry said...

A treasure trove here! For lunch today I think I will make myself a honey-dipped sandwich, with a coke. I love that sign! And all of your others too. Terrific.

kate sweeten said...

Wow - great shots! I loved the ones that you took of the Greyhound station.

Gordon said...

Gigi, I really enjoyed the stroll. The house with the rusty tin roof reminds me of my grandparents' house in Georgia, years ago. I enjoyed a nice snooze during a rainstorm. Thanks.

A Scattering said...

Great stuff Gigi! Even the pay phone is aged - they're a dying breed.

Pauline said...

The simplicity of that last shot makes it quite powerful, I feel. But I loved them all. Terrific post!

Andrea said...

Fantastic shots! You really captured the theme this week!! :)

Carrie said...

You have some great shots here! My favorites are the building with the missing windows, the metal tanks, and the last shot of the doors with the lock.

Oh girl, you have taken the cake this week.

Excellent, excellent photos. Superb.

GingerV said...

such a lot of great photos, my fav is the one with the colored chairs out front and the hold house with the tin roof and the wrap porch - I could live there but would have to have a garden in front.

Chef E said...

I love all the things you captured...my father used to joke and say he would buy that stuff for me when I got married, and I would get mad...now it speaks to me, and inspires my writing!

spiritsoflena said...

You found some really great ones for this week's theme! I really love them all.

Unknown said...

Honey donut sandwiches? Now that's the good old days when there was no such thing as cholesterol! Too
funny! These weathered shoots are awesome. You've been busy. I love the second photo of the grandma house with the wrap around porch and the gingerbread. You just know there is something yummy in that house. Maybe that's where they make the donut sandwiches. I really enjoyed your photos. Thanks for taking the time.

Zaroga said...

Just a wonderful assortment, Gigi. I love old and weathered things :-)

I'm going to drop out of the shoot out for a while. I just have too many things I really need to do... they've been put off too long.
