Abandoned chairs

Since my very early days of exploration of abandoned places, I have noticed these chairs which seem to be some kind of "least common denominator". Almost independent of the type of environment and country, they just stand there in an amazing variety like if they’ve been arranged for some kind of public display. Even at places which have been totally blown out or everything has been carried away, one can bet that there is at least one chair somewhere.

Thoughtful...

They're so forlorn—abandoned like animals, reduced to bones. Each chair would be a prison for the explorer foolish enough to sit. Never eat the food in Færie—!

What a fantastic gallery....full of sadness, tenderness and humour....I wonder what Van Gogh would make of them?

Good idea. Chairs are very personal and the ones you find like this all tells a story of all those men and women who sat on them.

I have noticed this chair phenomenon as well during my treks through abandoned places... check out my gallery of the abandoned Pennhurst State School: www.pbase.com/lenzphotography/Pennhurst

Excellent Gallery, Excellent Subject, Excellently Done. If Only These Chairs Could Talk, Oh, The Stories Each Could Tell, Stories Of Life And Stories Of How They Fell?
