Check out these really cool ancient cave houses, carved into sandstone cliffs in Iran. I especially like the old, weathered doors and windows:

Here's a chunky looking Russian railcar or railbus:




This next item sure is an odd one. It has tires but also has some obvious equipment for operating on rails. The site where I found the image said it was used by the Navy to transport explosives:

Here's another odd one... an Michelin railbus that was tested in the UK but never adopted. It ran on special rubber tires:






And here's a different model of the Michelin railbus:

On our big road trip last month, the wife and I spent the first night in McCook, Nebraska.  While driving around town, we came across an interesting building, just across the street from the railroad tracks.  It was too late to take photos but I went back early next morning and shot a few.  The building has obviously not been painted in several years.  The exterior appears to be covered with some type of embossed metal siding.  There was a lot of stuff inside the building, but it was not in active use.

Interesting building Bill and that last shot may well be used by a few people

That's not a real building, it's another Chuck Doan masterpiece!

Yes, Chuck Doan is who I thought of the other day when I saw this.
Also thought of Ken H. but it is probably a little rural for Ken

Hi all,
also with us, there are many old buildings.

I discovered this by accident just in my area (15 km.)


Old Customs House from 1822

Neat... kind of interesting how it's build on a log "foundation", with rocks under the log.
