They have atmoshpere and personality and could easily be a jumping off point into a story or the climax scene in a scary story.<BR/><BR/>Anything that captures my imagination is a creative place for me, and it's always different, depending on my mood or the weather or what story I've been working on.<BR/><BR/>I'm going out and about today, and since I've been thinking a lot about cake and cupcakes lately, I might have to go to a few bakeries and maybe take some pictures or do some sketches and see what happens. And maybe even have a cupcake ;)srublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258955808195282768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898179382293852278.post-39591544226376527902008-09-15T18:28:00.000-04:002008-09-15T18:28:00.000-04:00Angela, about 10 years ago there was a fiction ser...Angela, about 10 years ago there was a fiction series of books I read about settlers in Canada. I can't remember the author, but I remember being in awe over her descriptions. I'd LOVE to see one of those early settlements! North Carolina has all kinds of places like this scattered around, so I get my fix here, but I'd still like to see the early Canadian settlements one day too!<BR/><BR/>Kai, I love this story! Wow! What an amazing place that would be to explore, or at the very least, day dream about! :0)C.R.

My husband had stepped out of the sleeper car for a snack or something just before we passed through an old ghost town. Absolutely abandoned. Many of the buildings were half buried in earth and overgrown with foliage. We passed through so quickly but it really peeked my imagination. I've always wanted to know the story of that old town. Because we were on a train, I don't even know where we were! Someday, I'll make up my own story about the town to satisfy my curiosity, like you did.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing! -KaiKai Strand, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012304963642303041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898179382293852278.post-64352664540408188662008-09-15T11:41:00.000-04:002008-09-15T11:41:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness, what beautiful pictures!

I always want to pull over and go take a peek inside.Angela Ackermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808259088625142389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898179382293852278.post-40960588840230124042008-09-14T21:47:00.000-04:002008-09-14T21:47:00.000-04:00Hi Brenda! those things remind me of my grandpare...Hi Brenda! <BR/><BR/>those things remind me of my grandparents too! <BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by!C.R.

I love to take drives for that reason! <BR/><BR/>Hey adrienne! An old bowling alley! WOW! Now that's a rare find. How cool!

Inside one I discovered tiny, old bowling alley with a very warped floor - it still had some of the pins! Of course, it sparks a whole scene in your mind.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583029102450754497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898179382293852278.post-35862345474384803152008-09-12T18:47:00.000-04:002008-09-12T18:47:00.000-04:00I'm with you on this location.for me it's anything...I'm with you on this location.<BR/>for me it's anything with mystery surrounding it. Anything old and abandoned. Maybe that's the key. It was left behind in the past.<BR/>This summer in VA we visited some of the old forts along the Potomac. Loved them. And the best part - so did my kids so I get to visit them every time I'm in the area.<BR/>Have a great weekend, Christy!PJ Hooverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602205868934777662noreply@blogger.com
