First photo from France and my new drone! An abandoned fairytale castle nestled in the woods near a small town in northern France.🌱

I also got a tick bite here. I hate ticks.😭 Will be monitoring for symptoms of Lyme disease until Aug 3rd. So far, so good.😅

I'm back from 2 weeks of exploring abandoned places in France! I'm in the process of sorting/editing photos, and I'm super excited to share some works with you soon. But in the meantime, here are a couple shots from an abandoned events venue in Portugal.
Off to France today for 2 weeks to explore some abandoned places! Here's a thread of some favourites from our last trip to France in 2019.

Yesterday, I finished prepping our route for our trip to France. We leave the last weekend of June for two weeks. Hubby and I have been researching on and off since January. It takes a lot of patience and planning to do what we do, and not
many people know what goes on behind the scenes. Our goal is to visit all the green pins. The others are backup spots. We will be in the car every day between 5 and 6 hours. The rest of the day, we will be exploring and photographing abandoned places. We book hotels or airbnbs that provide breakfast so we can grab and go, and we stop for lunch at grocery stores so we can grab and go. We only sit down for dinners because we don't have time to waste. It's definitely not a typical vacation. When we get home, we are exhausted. But it's a labor of love as there is nothing we would rather be doing.🤍

I was non-existent on social this weekend. It's a busy time at work, and I have also come down with a head cold. Blaahhh...but focusing on the positive...the countdown is on for our trip at the end of June. France, here we come!

WIP: "If Walls Could Talk..."

A couple pieces from my most recent project - creating abstract art by photographing the walls of an abandoned hospital.
A couple more from my newest project "If Walls Could Talk..."

For this project, I looked to create abstract art by photographing the decayed walls of an abandoned hospital.

What do these walls say to you?
Thankful for you all. And so many more!🙃 🙏

Sharing some photos from my newest project "If Walls Could Talk..."

For this project, I looked to create abstract art by photographing the decayed walls of an abandoned hospital.

This is something new and different for me, so it feels very scary to share these. Any/all feedback is appreciated.🙏

That feeling when you make new art that you feel very proud of, but you are terrified to show the world because it's soooo different than what you usually produce.🫠

Have a great weekend everyone! I'm about to head to the US, to attend a dinner, mixer, and a tour at an abandoned asylum. It's one I've explored before, but happy to get a second crack at it!
