or, 31 Places I would love to visit.
If I had a camera for some of the places I've found wandering around. The one time I did have a camera, the house made it onto the cover of "Nothing Men." I love run down buildings and structures where nature is starting to take over.
Hee hee. I echo Budd's sentiments. Some astoundingly beautiful images here - I particularly like the house with the ivy and Mark Twain quote.
Budd: Agreed!
Doug: I also love abandoned, dilapidated structures - something so eerie about them.
James: My fave is the final pic (of the cemetery) with the Poe quote (which has long been one of my favorites).
