Thanks Luther Fine Art, for featuring my work in the group, https://fineartamerica.com/groups/abc-group--a-is-for-abandoned.html

Thank you Don. I tried to have some subtle elements of radiance emanating from Mary. I didn't want it to be too pronounced as get all the attention.

How cool that you got to meet them. I've had the very same thing happen, and ended up making new friends. You did a really nice job with this.

Thanks for the comment Don. While I was at this abandoned lot, the one time owners (husband and wife) who had moved to the other side of the main road, saw my car parked and walked down to their old homestead I guess to check me out. I talked with them briefly as I do with anyone being suspicious of me with a camera, mainly to assure them I'm just a hobbyist. I guess they had a very strong connection to the old place and still live close enough to keep an eye on things even though the county now has taken it over to eventually make it a park area. With the economy these days the money and manpower for the work is not exactly a priority.

It's heartbreaking that someone even began to think this message would be needed in a case like this. We are living in bad, bad times. Voted

You're welcome, Brian. I just like this one. Sense of humor, yes... but, also looking into the small thumbnail, it is tunnel like... draws you in. In both instances I love it. It is a shame that they had to write the "don't steal on it"... but, that is reality, which is another reason I like it --It captures the reality of the world sometimes, even for those who are trying to aid others.
