No, no, of course nobody is abandoning our beloved photo challenge. This week Amanda is merely asking what the word Abandoned means to us.
Even though I’m visiting Slovenia, my country of origin, I found some time to have a look through my photos from this year and find examples of abandonment. For the record, this year I have so far taken 5437 photos. Here are twenty.
When I saw my first “Please don’t abandon me” sticker in Italy, it painted a pretty clear picture of a country I had moved into. In Slovenia I have yet to see one of those anywhere. They are not needed. We take care of our own even if they are a pain in the ass.
Here are some examples of abandoned objects (I didn’t go into animals, it hurts my soul just to think about it) from Italy, ending with a couple from Slovenia.
This coming Friendly Friday we meet right here again since I cover for Snow Melts Somewhere and host this challenge for the last time (for now, I might do it again one day). It’s been fun.

Great collection, Manja. I find it amazing what people will put outside on the kerb, unwanted for disposal. It could be another man’s treasure.

Right, Amanda. In fact, most of these things disappear quickly. Thank you!
