Day 325 - Abandoned and Forgotten

We found ourselves in a different area than usual today.  One wouldn't think to look for a cemetery in this particular area because it's a 4-lane road with very heavy traffic, but I knew it was there and I suggested we stop and take a look.  It was a small one, and it was on it's own little street just off the highway.  The day was very cold, but beautifully sunny.  When we were finishing up with our cemetery pictures, a derelict house caught my eye right across the little side street we were on.

Bonus!

We have been very interested in finding an old house we could take pictures inside of, but most good ones are blocked off and clearly marked with a multitude of No Trespassing signs.  This one was just sitting right there in plain sight and surrounded by shade trees.  Imagine our surprise when we found a bigger house behind that one!  It was a very big house, still sturdy (and therefore not dangerous) and was perfect.  It was full of the 'feel' we were looking for.  Peeling paint, water stains, broken plaster, and floors littered with debris.

We just have to go back!
