Abandoned House, Quiet Street, Clouds & Such

avatar

Some time ago, during the family trip in December, we stopped by the town of Cervantes for lunch. A traffic officer told us we could park along the less busy street so we did and there, I photographed some reflections I'm sharing today.


Along that street was an abandoned, dilapidated house with a blue concrete fence and green railings. The sight of it reminded me of the urban explorations by Slobberchops. The thought of going into it made me shudder for a moment, imagining what surprises could be waiting inside.


Anyway, I took some more reflections of the things around on the car's windows - the fence and the vines climbing in it, the trees. Even the sky/clouds and the house in the distance were included.


Then I crossed the street, wanting to take a peek at the house behind the yellow fence. Contrary to the abandoned structure across it, this was thriving with various decorative plants and small trees.


After getting a few snapshots, I returned to where our car was, taking pictures of the stretchy blue fence and their faint shadows. Except for a few cars parked far ahead, the street was empty. Not a soul was seen during my photoshoot, not even a dog and I kinda liked it.


Meanwhile, my niece Ahjay was engrossed in watching an anime on her phone, and Yongi was quiet in the front seat, enjoying his snooze time. We were not hungry so we did not go to the restaurant with the fam.

I took some more reflections (mostly of the clouds) on the car's backside mirror. It was midday (almost 1 pm) and the sun was at its peak. I tried finding an angle to avoid its glare but still had it on some photos.


Anyway, we are at Mom's. I have been offline for over 20 hours and will remain so until we go home to DD. I'm thankful that there's a scheduling feature on most of the frontends on Hive, hence this. I am trying to practice the art of unplugging and staying away from my computer or phone, especially in the presence of my loved ones.

Well, I love it! So I dare you to try even for a while too😉

I love the scheduling too. If I'm very good I can go three days without Hive but it takes me a bit to catch h up on obligations afterwards.

I'm terribly sorry for not dropping into check, but I seem to recall a parent was ill? How are they going? I have been thinking about it every time I see your name come up but I have been offline a lot!

Yes, I can relate to the challenge of catching up after being away from Hive for a day or two.

And thank you for thinking of me and my Mom. It's okay, I'm also not connecting enough these days... Mom is fighting hard and gracefully. Sometimes, she calls on the Heavens to come and take her so she can rest. It breaks my heart and I can only cry deep within.

It's awful watching them endure such pain. it's amazing how graceful they can be even in the middle of it. Dad wanted to go in the end too. It will be a relief I'm sure, though you'll grieve for quite a time. It's so unfair. xx

The house with the blue fence looks like something straight out of a mystery movie. I would be way too curious but also too scared to step inside. The reflections on car windows is very cool photography skill

Glad it wasn't me who was scared to even think about going into it, lol! Thank you. I barely have the skill to photograph as I just point and shoot😂
