    Kitty in the window.

    [wzslider height=”600″ lightbox=”true”] While driving through Holyoke MA I spotted an old abandoned building in an industrial area that was covered in foilage. Upon closer examination I could see a cat peering out the window. Photographed with Sony Nex 7, 24MP, mirrorless camera and E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS lens at 29mm (35mm = 43mm).

    Abandoned Pawtucket Train Station

    [wzslider autoplay=”true” interval=”7000″ height=”800″ lightbox=”true”] Pawtucket Train Station 9 Railroad Street Pawtucket, RI Pawtucket, RI is, what I would consider to be, an old Mill town. Spend an hour driving around the City and you’ll run into abandoned or re-purposed factories/mills everywhere. Most are situated in urban neighborhoods. Located just north on I-95 of Providence this City has a population of around 75,000 people. The Pawtucket train station was built in 1915 and began operations in 1916. The facility was closed in 1959 and sits in constant decline ever since. Photographed with Sony Nex 7 mirrorless camera, 10-18mm lens and Nikon D7100 with 18-55mm lens.

    Abandoned Building, 300 Eddy St., Providence RI

    [wzslider autoplay=”true” interval=”7000″ height=”800″ lightbox=”true”]This abandoned building certainly has real potential after a rehab.  I don’t know what used to be here, nor what will be here.  It’s a great location by the river and I’m sure even in it’s current state is worth big bucks.  The photographs depict the front and back of the building. Photographed by Sony Nex-7, 24MP, mirrorless camera with Carl Zeiz 24mm, F1.8 lens.

    Abandoned gas station.

    [wzslider autoplay=”true” interval=”5000″ height=”750″ lightbox=”true”]These photo’s have an old feel to me but the pumps themselves look fairly modern. All the pumps have their handles on the sides and I can’t remember that in a long, long time.    I can’t exactly put a date on when these gas stations were operational.  I do like the “feel” of the setting and the vintage look it projects.  The smaller station is located in the Preston area of CT. The larger station with the package store is in Voluntown CT.  Drinking and driving always go well together, don’t they? (NOT!) Photo take with Sony Nex 7, 24MP mirrorless camera and a Carl Zeiss 24mm, f1.8 lens.

    Abandoned Mill, Woonsocket RI

    This is an old abandoned mill on Railroad Ave., in Woonsocket, RI.  It’s situated a stones throw north of the Manville Dam (see attached photo).  Rhode Island was, back in the day, known for their mills, mostly textile in nature.  Like many mills of the day the town was built up around them.  This mill sat adjacent to a rail line and a river.  Again, commonplace for old mill’s and factories.  I’m sure this will be turned into apartments or condo’s like so many others.  We’re good at creating places to live just not so good at restoring a thriving manufacturing base. Photographed with a Fujifilm F100fd, 12mp, digital pocket camera.
