In memory of Marvelous Moondance

This dilapidated, worn out, falling down, cabin (worse on rear than this front) is on the way to our river cabin. I always think of MM when I pass it and finally snapped a pic. How I wish I had done that before he passed with his love of rust and all manners of old stuff. Can't you just see him crawling all over this sort of thing, shooting any number of photos?
I realize my skills are limited, challenged even , compared to his and many other photogs who post but wanted to post just the same.
Remembering you fondly MM. Red heart

He would have loved this <3

I miss him a lot. I hope his loved ones in "real life" know how much he was loved, and is missed, around these parts.

He is very much missed. Always had a thought provoking comment in threads about music, the outdoors and dozens of other subjects. I always think of him when someone mentions the "dreaded dune snakes".

He was always level headed on the forum. We traded Pm's about of all things..... cows.... He was a decent person.

I was going through some old OBX pictures and this one caught my eye. I don't even remember taking it, but I thought of MM when I saw it. Cape Hatteras lighthouse at the top. I never thought twice about rust before!

Another. I know this lighthouse was special to MM, just by reading his trip reports.

I have no idea who's foot that is. What kind of idiot would climb that lighthouse in flip flops.

I, errr, I'll have to ask that person when I see them again. Whistle It seems like such a bad idea that I can't imagine anyone doing it on purpose... Wink smiley

Nice picture Judyk. MM got me into looking for rust. there is an old tractor I pass quite often that is covered in rust. One of these days I'll stop and get some pics of it. I think of MM every time I pass by it.

I was unaware that MM had passed - I always enjoyed his photos and posts. My condolences to his family and friends. Your photo is a very nice tribute, Judy!

I was supposed to meet him in Corolla the summer before he died, we missed the chance. One of those “dam” moments.

I remembered seeing this post and a picture I took yesterday made me think about it so I dug around and found it. Here's one for MM, I really miss him on this site

Beachbumz, when I first saw this on your report, I thought of MM. smiley
As an aside, the cabin in my original. Is looking much worse for wear. Doors and windows rotted away, more decay, etc
It made me a little sad, but would surely intrigue Moondance. Perhaps I’ll have to get another pic.

Well, waited too long. Just last month it was still upright, doors and windows knocked in but obvious rotting. Now…~sigh~
Either the storms took it down or someone did. I suppose it was just a matter of time Darn.
