Today I had a visitor. As is my habit, I took her along a straight and dangerous road. My minion the ninja girl (or am I her minion? Hmmmm....) saw the path was marked in rust by the ghost of a leaf:

My guest filmed our progress on the straight and narrow path:

look how the ninja girl seems just to float along it (she's on the right)--she doesn't even need to balance. It's because she's a ninja

My guest is right at home in the wilderlands. No one who knows her should be surprised.

She peeks into the witch's fiery oven

Looking into the witch's oven What's cooking?

Nothing baking there now--in that place, it was the dark pines that gave off ominous exhalations, not the smokestack.

My guest snapped some pictures of me at my new hobby :-)

hello skateboard

getting up to speed

tentative stance

And then she wrote about six types of death and fifteen types of dancing (more dancing than death, today) and made me see the perfection of poison gas, and I only wish she could have enjoyed some fried dough with us--but another time.

first there is hot oil

I love that rusty ghost leaf. So surreal.

Beautiful pics! I love the skateboarding ones!

The ninja girl noticed that rust-imprint of the leaf. So cool!

It was funny seeing the skateboarding pictures. I could see (in some of the ones I *don't* share) my tentativeness--the stiffness of my pose, the hesitation. But it's a start!

I like the way my friend took the pictures--you get a sense of our progress :-)

Plus, rail walks through wooded areas... I can feel the coolness and feel the special sound quality from the pictures.

The oil looks like amber.

I've seen the ghosts of leaves, but I've never seen them leave their spectral imprint in that color before.

I don't think I've ever seen a ghost leaf in rust, either! I wonder how long it had to lie there for that imprint to form ... and now it's gone.

I think the oil looks like lava in a lava lake (see icon)--only the color is wrong.

Claire? Is that Claire? Two of my favorite people in the same place. That fills me with all sorts of joy.

That ghostly leaf is just so stunning!

Your visiting friend looks remarkably like my own friend, Mona but she isn't her 'cos I know she's visiting rellies in Dublin atm! :o)

Hee, it would be funny if we shared a friend without realizing it.

There's much happiness in those pictures, despite the ruined houses and the falling leaves. Must be the people :-)

Some of the photos (not included here!) show me at my dorkiest, but as the person posting the photos, I get to choose the flattering ones :-P

I love your photo-stories, as always. Abandoned places are some of my favorite places to wander about.

Yes, I love abandoned places. Scavenged landscapes.

Oh, my gosh, I would love to! At some point, I have to see [livejournal.com profile] skogkatt, and I've never been to Massachusetts, anyway, something that must be rectified ASAP.
