This is a former grocery store, on a country road about 45 minutes from my home in Dismal Swamp. Now abandoned and eroded by the elements, it was no doubt the centre of the community in its day. I like broken down wrecks, for some reason. Does that make me a bad person? Or just an empathetic one, perhaps.
Hello World 
Yup, I did all that, except now that they’ve changed the “Add/edit media” functions, you have to right click on the image , and then copy the image location. That gets plunked in between the ” “. It seems to stay there for a while, then, away it goes to who knows where, leaving the broken link icon behind, mockingly! Strange are the ways of WordPress.
Have you had this problem at all? Why are you awake at this strange hour? Do we blame the cats?? Thanks, mate. ❤

Now that I’ve got you on the line, so to speak, I’m having problems with images not staying in my comments, using the method you taught us a few months ago. The photo shows for a while, then, there’s a broken link symbol. Sigh. I’ve reinstated the missing dunny, let’s see how long it stays there.
Cheers, chap. oxo 🙂

Hi, Laurie. I’ll bet the dunny has fallen down by now; I’ll have to go back and see. There were no ‘roos around, but it was mid-day when I was there. they were sensibly dozing somewhere. Cheers.

Quick, come back, I’ve re-posted the dunny photo, Laurie. For some reason, the link had broken.

I feel cheated Yvonne, no dunny picture. I don’t miss using them though. There’s nothing wrong with you liking the run down and damaged. I think they sometimes make the best subjects, as your great photos demonstrate.
Cheers
Laurie.

Hiya,
Lovely pictures there, especially love the alarm/telephone bell box 🙂

Hi Rob. Those bells would have summoned the storekeeper from the backyard dunny, no doubt!
For those who don’t know the word, a dunny is Aussie slang for toilet. It might have looked somewhat like this.

Very evocative – I’m imagining I can hear crickets & the dry grass rustling.

It’s a quiet, peaceful spot, no crickets, but there’ll be cicadas when the season is right.

I am fascinated by abandoned buildings. My little brain is always flooded with questions. What, when, why, who and where are they now? Does anyone remember them? Were they happy? Sad? Did they just give up, or was there something else at play? Okay Y, I will stop now! Baci!

It could be almost anywhere….doesn’t have to be in a dismal swamp. As you know I love architectural details and you have a lot of them here.
