6. There are some beauties in this thread.

[Solly Mack]

8. I agree

9. How on earth did you find the old store in the first one?

Is that a store also in the 3rd one?
amazing.

10. It's in Abita Springs, LA. It's called the Mystery House.

It's a great place of the weird and the odd, as well as kitsch and old things. It's a fun place to visit and you'll spend a couple of hours walking around the place - there is a lot to see.

The town itself is also interesting.

Both doors are in the same place. All the doors in the mystery house are decorated in all manner of things.

One is covered in old disposable cameras. One is covered in motherboards. Another is covered in old pottery/a mosaic.

If you ever get the chance - GO! It's great!!

when I was out on the walkway to the beach taking shots.

12. I like your In the Pink.

I have a lot of gate photos because we had a fence built and I collected fence & gate photos for a while. And I take photos in a cemetery with a lot of mausoleums, so there's those doors. Oh, and garden gates.

Most taken more as a straightforward record than any sort of attempt at artistry, though, those two wouldn't have had to be mutually exclusive if I'd had more patience.

A few:

13. I like those. Especially the house gates.

I love cemeteries, the older the better.

Thanks! Your shots are quite good!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

17. Thanks! A lot of people find it odd that I like cemeteries.

My maternal grandmother liked them too. I think they're interesting, but especially the old ones with actual headstones. I don't care for the ones that try to pretend they're not a cemetery by making the markers flat on the ground!

Here's one of my fave grave shots. West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala Cynwyd, PA, near Philly.

18. Nice! If it is odd then there are more than a few odd members of this group.

I like the way some old headstones have wonderfully strange sayings on them. Some have excerpts of old poems and books. Love them all!

Nowadays, people are a little too serious or unimaginative about headstones.


Mine will read (my name) - you really ought to get up.

Years ago while my mom was at work, my sister and I were tasked with cleaning the house. I did all the cleaning. I was finishing up as our mother came through the door and just having put a cleaning towel down, I took a chair. My sister picked the towel up and pretended she had been cleaning.

Mom comes through the door, looks at my sister, looks at the house, looks at me, and says, (my name, you really ought to get up)

As if I was the one who had been sitting on their bottom the whole time.

My sister snickered.

19. Love it.

I hope to be cremated, but here are two I like. (Not mine, found online.)
