Tuesday Photo Challenge – Abandoned
We took a trip to North Carolina at the tail end of Hurricane Rita. That was the Hurricane right after Hurricane Katrina. When we got there, the hotel which had our booking had leaking and flooding damage. The owner recommended that we drove at least seven miles inland before trying to find another hotel. During our cruising up and down, we saw a lot of abandoned boats. I could image that with two hurricanes, boats got toasted up and down the waves. They were banged against the shore again and again. These boats might have reached to a point of no return, thus got abandoned.
Perfect photos for Frank’s abandoned theme. Such an awful event though.

Okay, in that sense, we didn’t. I looked it up also, but it has different meanings, so I wonder…. When we went to Key West, we had wonderful, mystical night experience.

Landsharks? You’re referring to…? We only saw flood. My husband basically went for wreck diving despite of weather. That was a chance he had to take, but he was lucky.

I found the first photo especially haunting. There’s just something very eerie about abandoned buildings and structures in general – hence the universal sense of apprehension evoked by ghost ships in many parts of the world. But some of those boats also look very forlorn being marooned on land.

Yes, if the owners abandoned them, I don’t think anybody would bother to do anything about them! When I went to Dallas Taxes, there are a lot of house being abandoned, perhaps for the same reason.

Yes, I could imagine that the owners had so much fun with their boats, and then after the hurricanes, they tried to salvage the boats as much as they could before reaching the final decisions. Yes, made me wonder also!
