A visit

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

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 like the walking of the rails.

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.

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

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

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