Military bases can be fascinating places sometimes. My mother was telling me about ghost ships in the neglected harbor of this base. I saw them through the afternoon haze; shadowy figures along the horizon line. They stand ready, fully functioning and completely prepared for the day they are required. But the decks are empty and no crew mans the lonely vessels. And then there are these abandoned trains, rusting off the back roads. I don't know what purpose these serve, but I'm glad I'm able to visit them. My range of exploration is so limited here compared to the expanse I used to roam in Washington state last year, but there are still many interesting things to uncover.

I love that dress from Chicwish!
When you explore around where you live do you drive or walk? I know the places still awaiting my discovery where I live are limited, and I can't drive yet. So I can only go places within walking distance, but even then I hate walking to a pretty place only to find it filled with people.

I don't let you comments very often (sorryyy!) but I come on your blog each day.
This shooting is probably one of my favourite : the place is totally AMAZING and really cool.
i envy you so much for living near the nature and such wonderful landscapes (well, okay, I know Paris is cool too ;)

This setting is one of your best so far - great photos!

ohhhh my goodness, I love those photos...(I have a slight obsession with trains..and train tracks..haha)
but anyways, I love your shoes..
I'm just a bit jealous that you're able to explore such interesting places! I would love to poke about old and abandoned trains.
I love how well your hair, dress, and bag match the colours of the train. GORGEOUS photos!
However limited this new place may be, you've had some gorgeous and atmospheric photoshoots lately. I loved yesterdays, and this one is great!
you certainly take advantage, those pictures look amazing
Now that is one darling dress.

I absolutely love your dress! The sheer cutouts at the neckline are awesome. Really cool setting for these pictures too.
I think this is one of my favorites from this summer. The dress is so beautiful and the location is swoon worthy. I love abandoned things! This shoot is just fantastic. You're such an inspiration!
The last picture of you looking out from the train is beautiful! I know that if you have a family one day they will be so grateful to have so many great pictures of their loved one!
I love weird abandoned stuff! The faint eeriness when you think about the people who used to use it... good fun!

I love the ethereal feel of your writing now, how the text accompanying your beautiful outfits are pretty and sort of haunting. Keep it up! :)
Also you always choose amazing locations for your posts, the eeriness of this one really brings out your adorable ensemble. I especially love the collar of that dress!

i also posted the karmaloop horse dress but for some reason wasn't logged in.
Very cool! I love trains. If there are any that run around you, you should hop one. They go pretty slow through towns and populated areas, so it's really easy to jump on and ride for a minute or two, then get off again. Haha :p
Also, I just watched Rear Window again today, and then saw your post on it! What a coincidence. It's such a great movie.
such a gorgeous dress :) love the collar and lace cut out
Such a fascinating place to visit! And beautiful dress hun :)
xx, Anh
nice
very very very lovely!!! Makes me think of an old railway that has the cars still attached in the town I went to high school in. Only problem is that there are so many bugs and ticks in it that I never went there for a photoshoot. You look so nice though in these colors!!!!!
very lovely look. :) i love your clogs. :)
Beautiful photos! I love the railroad tracks...I actually went to an abandoned set myself just yesterday! I love that dress on you and the collar is just lovely.
