This weeks theme, abandoned.
I lie old barns in the landscape. Long forgotten but now still valuable for local wildlife especially owls to nest.
This is an old watermill near Matlock, England. It has an eerie presence. It does not take that long for nature to reclaim the land. I thought I saw a figure move from the corner of my eye but no one else was there.
This picture was taken on Christmas Eve a few years ago. The horse looks abandoned and lonely in the snow but was owned by someone and I have seen it many times since.
Magpie mine in Derbsyhire, an old abandoned lead mine. Said to be haunted by miners who died in an accident many years ago.
The ruins of Glastonbury abbey, supposedly the burial place of King Arthur. Once one of the wealthiest churches in England but destroyed like so many by Henry VIII.
A baby coot. It also looks abandoned and alone but they stay hidden in the water while their mother searches for food. I hope she came back anyway!
Death by Shyness 
A comprehend collection of ‘Abandoned’ photos, Klodo. So that is where King Arthur ended up hey? And seeing that horse and baby coot pulls at the heart strings doesn’t it? What is a coot anyway? I am not familiar with that name.
The dictionary says its an aquatic bird of the rail family similar to a moorhen……or a stupid or eccentric person, typically an old man! The babies are cute, they are called a cootling!
Ah Moorhens I know!!!
Oh, lovely examples.
Amanda didn’t mention it above, but please, edit the link to her blog above to include her source “abandoned” post. Now it leads to her blog as such. (I was the host last Friday and this week it’s Amanda’s turn.)
ok
Sorry to bother you again. 🙂 I noticed that the link to Amanda’s challenge is still wrong. Please use this one:
Thank you! And welcome to join Friendly Friday again this week. See my last post. The theme is “bricks and tiles”.
Actually I did not know what link to use so just copied it from someone else, I think it was a mindful traveler who is still using exactly the same link on his latest post.
Ok, it works as well.
Love the baby foot! 😁
Baby coot, not foot.
Thanks, although it still took me a couple of seconds to realise what you meant just from reading the comment!
The spell checker “corrected” my spelling of coot to foot. (It took four tries to get this comment past the spell checker.)
