For the next two weekends we're going to explore the time-honored theme of "abandoned". It's a topic that is wide open to interpretation, and we look forward to seeing what our many clever Utatans will create. Perhaps you'll feel inspired to hunt down old abandoned cars, toys, couches, umbrellas, or shoes? Who or what is left behind, perhaps unwanted, unused, or unappreciated? How might your image provide a framework or insight about the subject(s) that surprises, or illuminates? Bonus points for rusty, crusty remnants and/or patina! Have extra fun by thinking outside the usual parameters of the word "abandoned", and play with the concept with "abandon" :-).
