I found this inside the attic on an abandoned house and, being naive, learned that it was called a Widow's Watch. My highly academic source, Wikipedia, taught me that "A widow's walk also known as a "widow's watch" (or roofwalk) is a railed rooftop platform often with a small enclosed cupola frequently found on 19th-century North American coastal houses. The name is said to come from the wives of mariners, who would watch for their spouses' return, often in vain as the ocean took the lives of the mariners, leaving the women widows.[1] In other coastal communities, the platforms were called Captain's Walk, as they topped the homes of the more successful captains; supposedly, ship owners and captains would use them to search the horizon for ships due in port."

Ok, so I have to ask... what did you think the subject was? How did you get giant graffiti penis out of window? Hahaha Oh, wait. Was that just an excuse to post the big penis??

Any thoughts on what this could be?

by Dee Ashley, on Flickr A large arena, auditorium, or something along those lines. Bigger the better.

Alright, not the grandest of auditoriums, but it's something:
Let's see some old Christmas decorations.

Because I'm feeling festive, here's a whole bunch. Recently discovered abandoned Christmas tree with severed Santa head.
Mangled Santa at the abandoned Bible Expo.
This is how we get around.
Don't worry kids, Santa's okay. Here he is on an abandoned sleigh ride at a closed amusement park.
Men Y Christmas!
Next: Strikingly nice-looking vegetation at an abandoned place (trees, flowers, moss, vines, etc).

RIP P&A Mill.
Let's see an infestation!

My screen is infested with snow falling and its 30 degrees outside, down in the southern hemisphere. I'll be honest its the yearly cursor change that draws me in to the site each December. Go Santa Go! But do watch out for the killer reindeer.

In 2010 there was a legendary festival at an abandoned area in a corner of one of the busiest parts of Seoul. The guy seen with the camera made a documentary about it. I later figured out what was in that big wrapped package behind him.
Next: a toilet in a surprising place.

How about something flooded?

Going for a swing in a riverside park during a 2011 flood that killed about 30 people the same day.
If not urbexy enough, here's a flood in an abandoned apartment during winter.
Next: a reflection.

Take your pick; I couldn't decide. DSC_0083 DSC_0093 How about a library?
When there is tranquility, you are in the right place. When there are no footprints, you are on the right path. When there are no tire tracks, you are on the right road. |

Hard for me to resist this one.
Give me a mascot of an abandonment.

Steed, your pics always make me smile. You always look like you're having the time of your life Anyway, this isn't *specifically* an abandonment mascot but it's what I have to keep this thread afloat: We called him Billy. He was our roadtrip mascot. We took him wherever we went during the trip, so he's done some UE.
How about a pool of something that isn't water?
