The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

I had to change my submission since I found the spot I had been looking for today.
And I didn't think I'd have time to drop by. So here's my version of Breaking Bad.

Abandoned Hostess factory in Sacramento; closed when the original Hostess company went bankrupt some years ago. Hundreds of workers at this factory lost their jobs.

In the desolate desert of western Utah, there is an abandoned graveyard (Camp Floyd Cemetery). In the 1800's the US government sent soldiers to this lonely area to serve the country. Many of the soldiers died at this US Army camp. The soldiers were buried unceremoniously during this early time in this far away desert. When Utah State Parks system learned of these abandoned graves, they surveyed the area and found out where the burial sites were. The State Parks system could not identify the people buried there, but they left the remains in place, and placed Grave Markers on the graves. All of the grave markers in this small, deserted cemetery are labeled, "Unknown". One stone contains the inscription "2 Unknown". These solders were abandoned and left to be forgotten. It is a very sad scenario of history.
