We had a chimney standing like that in McDonough, GA when we lived up there a few years back. We passed it about 3 times a week and it always made me feel sad and wonder what happened to those folks.
Good shot. Scenes like this make all us wonder about the history of the property.
Toni.....I know....and you wonder why the family just left.....Thanks!
Have a Great Day!
Roy....I agree.....Thanks!
Have a Great Day!
Great shot and you do hae to wonder why a home was never rebuilt on the same spot.
These images do make you wonder about the life and memories they held. We have many of the same images in our beautiful area and enjoy all the great shots from Bristol, TN too!
Cindy....I know...I always think the same thing....Thanks!
Lee and carol....I know you have a lot also.....Thanks!
Have a Great Day!
Very cool Rob. I see these reminders when I travel around as well, and I wonder what the story is.
Michael....I think we all do.....Thanks!
Have a Great Day!
Hi Rob, it makes me think of years ago when Indians roamed these many areas. This would make a great story.
Oh wow! I saw one of these on the Dodge cutoff and thought about stopping and taking a picture but did not. DARN! Thanks for sharing your's with us! It's GREAT!!
Howdy and morning to you Rob
Rob, its a lot of fun to figure out the story that a spot like this has to tell folks. I sure do enjoy your images of times gone by.
Have a good one
Dale in New Hampshire
Judith....I agree....Thanks!
Joni....I just turn around now and go back and take the shots when I'm lucky enough to find one....Thanks!
Dale.....I'm glad you like them....Thanks!
Robert what a great shot. I often wonder what led to a family walking away from a home.
Jennifer....I have always thought the same thing......Thanks!
Rob,
Your photo and the caption certainly begs the question! I recall in another state that I lived in there was a vacant lot in the middle of the subdivision off the main road. The lot was overgrown with weeds and nobody talked about it - despite the fact that it had a gigantic statue of Christ in the middle of the lot! I mean this statue was one of the biggest statues I ever saw in my life time and it was very, very old.
Nobody seemed to care about it until the day it disappeared. We all shook our heads and said, how could something that BIG disappear in the middle of the night and none of us noticed anything suspicious! Who carried it away? How did they get it out of there? Everybody, I mean everybody was talking about it, including the local media and nobody had any answers, nor did we even know who the lot belonged to!
As it turned out, before the subdivision was built, the land belonged to some non-profit organization and the land had an orphanage, an infirmary and farmland. The orphanage and infirmary was used during the war. The only thing that remained was the statute and because of its size, the developer left it alone. We never did find out who stole the statue or where it went.
So, Joshua is right after all, behind every great photo, there's a story! I hope you get to find out what the story is on that chimney.
Patricia
Patricia....I hope to one day go back and try and find out the story of each one.....especially after reading yours.......Thanks!
Hope you have a great day!---Rob
