A small collection of abandoned houses from near and far.
Above and directly below is a large abandoned house on the outskirts of Empress, Alberta. The east side of Empress is on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border and this house lies just two hundred feet inside the Saskatchewan boundary.

An early winter view of a tiny abandoned house in Comrey, Alberta. The cold and frosty morning made for a bone-chilling yet captivating view all around.

The same house as above but just two months later on a bright and sunny winter day. The sunshine makes for a completely different take on the scene.

A big old square two storey house just east of Burstall, Saskatchewan.
When I was a kid I can remember visiting a married sister who lived in a house much like this one though in much better condition. Her father-in-law used to grow tobacco and would hang it up in the attic to dry. It was quite a thrill for me as a ten-year-old to go up the stairs and see the year's crop hanging from the rafters. Her mother-in-law made batches of Belgian beer which was even more exciting. (No smoking or drinking were allowed at my house.) Eventually I got to sample both...and both met with my approval!

A summer home for the birds near Virgelle, Montana. Some kind soul had created a nesting spot for osprey during their breeding season "up north." Nice to see this.

A two-storey house with a spacious veranda near Roth, North Dakota. For the time it was unusual to have such a large window on the second floor.

A storm is brewing just south of the big brick "spooky house." It was so windy when I took this photo that it was hard to keep the camera steady.

Oh wow Michael - these pretty much all make me want to create them in fabric, especially the one dated Dec 15/18. Is there any chance you would grant me permission to use it for inspiration for my work? (If you want to see what I do check out the 'landscape' heading in the sidebar on my blog - https://magpiesmumblings.blogspot.com). You can contact me at marmic1954 AT hotmail DOT com ('BW" will vouch for me as being legit!).
