Book Description

Abandoned structures are places that open the imagination and invite interpretation. Distressed wood and weathered remnants of human life are crossed by time and animal tracks, inviting one to picture what once was. Abandoned homes and buildings offer a unique, distressed beauty. While often overlooked by passers-by, their skeletal remains act as the perfect subject for the lens of a camera, quietly waiting to be documented and shared. Abandoned Kentucky: Bygone Echoes of the Bluegrass State explores this haunting narrative and display of photos by urban explorer and photographer, Jay Farrell. In this book, you'll enjoy a variety of dilapidated structures, including abandoned farmhouses, country stores, a church from the late 1800s, and so much more. Readers are encouraged to explore the forgotten corners of the state, see the world through different eyes, and take the long road home.
