A black and white photo showing the very basic bathroom facilities inside an old bright red train caboose that's open to the public.

For today's #FotoVorschlag special, 'Bathroom', I submit these basic facilities inside a train caboose. No privacy at all.

Must be really hot, your bike is melting. 🙃

Nice shot but how is this even possible by any physics that I'm aware of?? 🤔

I guess this is what is meant by "lipstick on a pig". Don't get me wrong, broken down buildings are my favorite type of photography to shoot. Nice job.

Uh...no!! I'd be shaking like Don Knotts if I went there at night. The window is the least spooky thing about this building. 😬

A color photo of a boarded up window with red washed plywood. On and around the window are thick vines which have been cut but not completely removed.

Someone attempted to trim the vines off of this boarded up window, leaving just enough to make it interesting.

No, they turned around and left, said this place is FUBAR. 👽

I held the edge of the camera against a light post to get this proof of alien invasion.

A fire pit with a couple of copper kettles, a cast iron stock pot on a portable grill and a three legged caldron filled with what looks like embers from the fire. There is a red shoe with an 18th century buckle in the upper right of the photo consistent with the proposed time period.

For today's special 'Warme Dinge' ('Warm Things') at #FotoVorschlag, here is a very warm fire pit at an American Revolutionary War reenactor's camp site.

Nice one, Bob. I'm getting ready to go out today and shoot some film this morning. I just hope I can run across something this interesting. 👏

A black and white photo of a scene looking across a lake through the rain and haze to the opposite shore.

For today's #FotoVorschlag special, 'Verloren im Dunst' ('Lost In The Haze'), I submit this hazy scene over the lake on a rainy day.

It's funny, when I first glanced at this photo the puddle looked like a chicken and I though for a spit second, "why did the chicken cross the road?". Still a good photo even without the chicken. 🙃👍😉

A combination brick and stone wall with some of the bricks randomly placed and many crumbling away.

For the #FotoVorschlag special of the day 'Texturen' ('Textures') I submit this section of wall with seemingly random bricks in various stages of decay.

Love it!!

When on the road I seek out places like this if I have time. So much character.

Nice photo. The Delta plane is a fairly rare Boing 757-300 built in 2002 or 2003. It's the stretched version of the already long 757 also known as "The Flying Pencil". Only 55 of this version were ever built and amazingly 45 are still flying today.

Good job. I take back roads specifically searching for places just like this. It's probably my favorite thing to shoot.

A young girl with a Lilo & Stitch shirt on and her elbow resting on a vendor's table. She has a lollypop in her mouth with the wrapper still on the stem, apparently so she doesn't have to finish it and can rewrap it for later.

This young lady has the whole lollypop thing figured out. Just leave the wrapper on so you can save it for later.

I had to stand on an inclined ramp to take this level and #symmetrical #window #selfie.
