Military bases can be fascinating places sometimes. My mother was telling me about ghost ships in the neglected harbor of this base. I saw them through the afternoon haze; shadowy figures along the horizon line. They stand ready, fully functioning and completely prepared for the day they are required. But the decks are empty and no crew mans the lonely vessels. And then there are these abandoned trains, rusting off the back roads. I don't know what purpose these serve, but I'm glad I'm able to visit them. My range of exploration is so limited here compared to the expanse I used to roam in Washington state last year, but there are still many interesting things to uncover.

It sounds like a fascinating spot to explore, have to say.
ReplyDeleteLove this pretty dress too!

I love that dress from Chicwish!
ReplyDeleteWhen you explore around where you live do you drive or walk? I know the places still awaiting my discovery where I live are limited, and I can't drive yet. So I can only go places within walking distance, but even then I hate walking to a pretty place only to find it filled with people.

I absolutely love your dress! The sheer cutouts at the neckline are awesome. Really cool setting for these pictures too.
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of my favorites from this summer. The dress is so beautiful and the location is swoon worthy. I love abandoned things! This shoot is just fantastic. You're such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThe last picture of you looking out from the train is beautiful! I know that if you have a family one day they will be so grateful to have so many great pictures of their loved one!
ReplyDeleteI love weird abandoned stuff! The faint eeriness when you think about the people who used to use it... good fun!

i also posted the karmaloop horse dress but for some reason wasn't logged in.
Very cool! I love trains. If there are any that run around you, you should hop one. They go pretty slow through towns and populated areas, so it's really easy to jump on and ride for a minute or two, then get off again. Haha :p
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just watched Rear Window again today, and then saw your post on it! What a coincidence. It's such a great movie.
such a gorgeous dress :) love the collar and lace cut out
ReplyDeleteSuch a fascinating place to visit! And beautiful dress hun :)
ReplyDeletexx, Anh
nice
ReplyDeletevery very very lovely!!! Makes me think of an old railway that has the cars still attached in the town I went to high school in. Only problem is that there are so many bugs and ticks in it that I never went there for a photoshoot. You look so nice though in these colors!!!!!
ReplyDeletevery lovely look. :) i love your clogs. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love the railroad tracks...I actually went to an abandoned set myself just yesterday! I love that dress on you and the collar is just lovely.
