De momento, creo que no estoy interesado en compralo. Está un poco apartado.
Mary MacADNski: Solamente un pedacito del sudor y madera de construcción y usted tendría una mansión. Solamente un pedacito.

Its like they just packed up and left, any reason for this Mary. Seems a waste
Mary MacADNski: I don't know the history of any of the buildings I shoot. There are lots of abandoned buildings.

Looks like there will be somewhere to sleep, when I visit.
Mary MacADNski: Air conditioned but the elevator is out of order. You can house all your insects in the barn.

It's all rather poignant Mary
Mary MacADNski: It would bring some to tears I suppose.
It is sad to see abandoned buildings that were once a home and filled with people with hopes and dreams. Where are they now I wonder?
Mary MacADNski: I have no idea. I love photographing these places but never know their history.
Sad and yet quite fascinating Mary!
Mary MacADNski: I love photographing these places.
There is a great sadness to this Mary seeing these old buildings falling in to ruin. Bill summed it up with his comment.
Mary MacADNski: It is common to find abandoned farms here. Small farms are hardly moneymakers anymore. It is the 'big guy' who thrives. Small is hardly worthwhile.
El espiritu tan grande y libre que tenéis quienes vivís en América es digno de elogio. Es maravilloso conocer a gente como tú y contagiarse de todo esto. En Europa a veces estamos demasiado atado a las estructuras y creemos que somos incapaces de hacer algo por y para nosotros mismos.
Mary MacADNski: Estamos libres en Canadá y la vida rural es maravillosa. La vida en las ciudades es mucho diferente.
It leaves us all wondering why. They wouldnt be empty long in the UK..very nice Mary.
Mary MacADNski: It is common here and I don't wonder why. I think from comments it is quite different in Europe.
wow - this has so much history to it. It's a beautiful find.
Mary MacADNski: This is quite common here.

It seems to be settling down for autumn
Mary MacADNski: Slowly. I hike in the woods most days and not that many trees have changed. The few that have are beautiful and make the hikes even more beautiful. I did fourteen today and could have stayed out much longer enjoying the forest.
