An old, derelict school bus, sandwiched between what appear to be two abandoned, ramshackle mobile homes, runs parallel to our favorite stretch of the Great Western Trail, a popular rails to trails bike path. Come summer, these tumbledown, forsaken structures will be almost entirely hidden from view by all the trees in full bloom, vines, shrubs and other unrestrained vegetation. For now though, stepping carefully (and somewhat daintily!), I was able to snap a few pics of these old relics while I still have a relatively clear path to do so.

Very interesting B & W photo — and perfect for this competition.
Thanks! I was torn. The color shot that I took is, I think, interesting as well. The bus is almost orange in color (perhaps not a school bus??) and it looks so out of place, especially as the greenery starts to fill in. Maybe for another challenge?
Anyway, thank you so much for your comment. Greatly appreciated. 🙂
I would like to see it in color too. Great find for this week’s abandoned. 🙂
Maybe I’ll post it out here some day just because!!! 🙂 Thanks, Cee!
Oh so dilapidated .. And forlorn
