My well-travelled 1972 Moto Guzzi Eldorado turned 50 in 2022, shortly after I turned 70.

Somehow, an early season ride to photograph some of Quebec's covered bridges turned into a marathon.

Derelictions are horror stories told in ways you may not have encountered before. Something is missing from the silent places and worlds inside these stories. Something has been removed, taken flight, or been destroyed. Us. Derelictions are weird tales that tell of aftermaths and of new and liminal places.
