My latest piece on Substack, in which I write about why I'm so drawn to abandoned places as photographic subjects.

A skinny tree in the foreground with a chain link fence behind it: a dog park with an unfenced area and a fenced in section. There is a man and a black standard poodle in the far distance but they are hard to make out in this shot. The ground is sand and the fenced in area is covered with a mulch type substance. Definitely organic.

A cool shot of an old grist mill and feed store from the early part of the twentieth century on a sunny day. It’s wooden, brown in color in the distance. In the foreground, sand, shrubs, and a cement pad or patio type area.

A black standard poodle stands on the mulch inside the fenced-in area of the new dog park in town. Her head is cocked and she’s looking at me through a black chain link as I snap the picture.

Another shot of the new dog park. This one shows the walkway to the park, past the antique grist mill with its split rail fence. The broad promenade is covered in fine white gravel/sand. The grass is neat and green and trees.

You guys, our new dog park is gorgeous and I called the DPW today to tell them so! I am both surprised and delighted. #SmallTownLife #RuralAmerica #MillTowns #AdamsDogPark #Berkshires #WesternMass

Spartanburg SC Waterfall created by an old damn that generated electricity for the Whitney Mills textile plant. This plant has been closed for decades but the dam remains a beautiful waterfall surrounded by huge trees and lush green foliage.

Spartanburg SC

Dam Generated electricity
For the Whitney Textile Mill
back in the day
It has become sadly neglected
Hopefully one day the state/county will see the beauty & historical value
