This broken down building is a couple miles from my house. The people, candles and text are from a little old greeting card (adding the ghostly folks as a tribute to RKT's series here and the frame inspired by cogerox's image here .
This is one of my famous 'snap the picture while you're driving down the street' images.

OH WOW. Makes me think of some of the work RKT did with her old images blended with new ones. Terrific photo and the title is outstanding. Loving this so much. :~)
I was thinking that looked familiar. While I'm not sure I've seen that one in particular, it is so reminiscent of so many old abandoned buildings scattered across NM. I like the overlay.
