This was once a bustling community in South Texas, and even had a railway facility. Now it's just an out of the way spot in Big Bend, near the Mexican border....... and, no. Zulu isn't the abandoned one, though he looks sad because there's no one around.

Looks like we're both into abandoned buildings today, Doug. I sure do like the texture in the wood in this posting as well as the non-T-post fence in the background. Zulu adds a nice touch to the shot. He looks like he was a sweetie and about as much help in shooting photos as my Ollie. Five minutes ago a mama deer and a couple of day old fawns walked by. I set up my tripod and was ready to snap off a billion shots when Ollie arrived on the scene and scared the family off. Dogs.....you gotta love 'em when you're not ready to kill 'em.

What is the building behind the doggie, please ?!
LOL
Zulu makes a very good subject to portrait.
Oh, I see...
You all have been discussing the abandoned place !
Must have been mistaken - this is my animal day !!!! LOL
Melancholic, yet charming image plus Zulu that gives it the finish touch = beauty and LIFE.
Congratulations, Master.

Lovely work on this photo, Doug. Nice strong lighting in the scene and good colours. I like the tilt in the landscape. Good work.
