abandoned Crestview

I'm still working on my 'personal' photos from the Crestview trip but I am just bursting with excitement about the abandoned places I got to check out.

First and foremost is the abandoned gas station. Every single time we passed it--and we passed it often--I wanted to pull over and shoot. So Doug took me, in the rain, to get a few shots on our way out to his grandparents.

Then we hit up the old Amtrak station. I absolutely loved it and am so thankful that Doug decided to bring me out there.

The rust is such an awesome texture.

Once we got to the grandparents out in Freeport, we found my dream home. Well, dream fixer-upper.

On the way back, we went to my favorite place on the entire trip: an abandoned truck stop.




This is my favorite shot from the truck stop.




The best past was seeing Doug waiting in the car to make a quick getaway.


I found this across from Doug's house and just had to fire off a shot, even though the sky was threatening to open up again.
