(I also like it because I have often romanticized about owning that cliche gas station on a lonely desert road in the middle of nowhere. You've seen it in the movies, the gas station with the old guy in a rocking chair, the '50s style Coke machine, and the big dog you have to step over to go inside.)

A black and white landscape photo of an old badly weather gas station. There is only gravel surrounding the station. The small building is white with horizontal slates on the side. The back of the station is to the right and the front faces left. Our view is toward the left corner of the station. Under the canopy is the pump island with only two skeletons of gas pumps left. An old partially disassembled sedan sits under the canopy closet to the station door. The widows are boarded up. An old weathered flat bed truck is visible on the far right. It points forward toward the left side of the frame. It is very rusty. There are clouds in the sky and various weeds grow around the station.

An abandoned structure in Ballarat, a ghost town near Death Valley, California. This decaying building is part of the town’s mining heritage in a vast, arid desert landscape.

Rim rock.

Black and white landscape photo with a view along the inner rim of a sandstone canyon. Because of erosion pattern successive rim are formed going down a sandstone cliff. This view is looking along a rim below the top of the canyon. The rim is on the right side. The deeper canyon is somewhat visible in the center left. In the right foreground is an ancient granary, where natives stored food supplies. The slab door is missing revealing a rectangular opening. The rim extends into the distance on the right. It is fairly flat with scattered boulders. In the distance are many odd shapes and spires. Large boulders sit perched on top of the canyon rim and there are a lot of overhangs along this inner rim. They blend in, but there are actually numerous granaries and living space along the canyon wall.

A nice little Four Corners / canyon country ruin.

A black and white landscape photo showing a habitation site that dates to about the 1200s. It is a small complex of rooms built under a cliff overhang. There are six openings, likely doors, in a continuous wall made of rectangular sandstone blocks. A unit on the left is setback further than the other five units and it has a stone slab closing the door like opening. A long dead stump with a long single branch is present at lower center frame. The ruin is in shadow under the overhang. Bright sun shines on the foreground and a bit of cloud streaked sky is visible in the upper right.

Derelict and fire damage; an abandoned late 1800s roadside inn and ballroom in Germany.

After the reunification of Germany in 1990, the autobahn was opened up to all travellers. With a huge reduction in passing trade, the inn began to struggle. Eventually, it closed in the mid-2010s.

Found a disused industrial...thingy while out #hiking in #Barcelona. We always take the side routes and never fail to find something awe-inspiring.

My latest #abandoned find in which I think "yes, I could just work remote from there (also looks semi-safe from a zombie apocalypse!) and be happy" is The Nevele - Catskills

Officially closed in 2009, I think I could do it up a lil.
As ever, nice #architecture and #design and even better - I'd be away from everyone living a lovely hermit life!

The downside? Winter is NOT my thing
