One of my favorite subjects: This structure is all that's left of a larger building in the ghost town of Friend, Oregon, and I have taken many pictures of it. I don't know what it was-- perhaps a vault. But it's all that's left. Mt. Hood towers to the west.

Precioso encuadre: parece un diálogo entre la ruina y el monte

Also one of my favourite subjects. Nice shot Bill. I am looking forward to more of your abandon places.

El edificio es solo un complemento. Sólo con el paisaje ya se crea una gran fotografía con ese bonito contraste de color y la belleza de las nubes.
Un abrazo.

this is a perfect picture. The frame, the layout within the picture. Nothing better to express the transience and ephemerality of our existence in the face of nature's grandeur. It is a melancholy view. Lives have passed by, people have built and then returned to oblivion.

Queda poco edificio en pie. Con asomarte a la puerta se puede ver su interior.

Hace una buena composición en ese hermoso paisaje.

Magnifique. La cabane de l'homme qui passe, ne fait que passer dans ce paysage grandiose....

Most dramatic landscape with this abandoned buiding. Terrific sky.

Poor Friend!
A most unusual name for a town.

Looks hot yet there is snow on the mountain, nice contrast.
