Don’t ever ask me where I go | Last man who asked me had to go | Because if you start askin’ | Then I’ll be hostile actin’ | Don’t ever ask me where I go #abandoned #thetourist #abandoned_ontario

I took off my glasses while you were yelling at me once | More than once | As not to see you see me react | Should have put ’em on again | So I could see you see me sincerely yelling back #abandoned #thetourist #abandoned_ontario

Come harvest time we’ll work it out | There’s still a lot of love in these troubled fields #abandoned #thetourist #abandoned_ontario

Kādā no saviem klejojumiem Leslija atrada pamestu namiņu ar cauru jumtu. Viņa pa paradumam ielūkojās iekšā. Kāds bija viņas pārsteigums, kad viņa ieraudzīja, ka mājiņā dzīvo vīrietis…

Tonight was the first of what will be many dinner dates with my new friend. Over the course of 3 hours we ate and drank and laughed. I was fortunate enough to hear about his life.. His struggles and his triumphs. This truly was one of the best experiences of my life & I can’t wait to share another meal with such a gentle soul. #abandoned #thetourist #lost_souls #new_friends #twistedtea @twistedtea

Šī tikšanās kardināli mainīja meitenes dzīvi. Vīrietis pastāstīja, ka viņu sauc Lourenss un ka viņš jau ilgu laiku šeit dzīvo…

The house that stole my heart – this is the exterior of my new friends home. Tonight we sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful evening. He explained to me how his injuries started in 2000 when a bull fractured his hip. He told me of his brothers illness and how they have lost touch. He said I was a blessing to him. I told him I couldn’t put into words what he means to me. #abandoned #thetourist #lost_souls #new_friends

Ar vienu aci viņš jau neredzēja, un arī otrai acij  zagās klāt katarakta. Pēc sarunas ar vīrieti Leslija saprata, cik plaša dvēsele ir šim cilvēkam. Meitene pateicās Lourensam par viesmīlību un apsolīja, ka atnāks atkal.

This is Lawrence. He lives in a house I had believed to be abandoned. The driveway is overgrown, the roof is caving in and the interior would lead anyone to believe this land had been deserted. I found him in the living room. He has a hard time getting around so he spends most of his time in there. Alone. He is missing his right eye and has cataracts infecting the left. Even after noticing a stranger essentially helping themselves to his life he was nothing but sweet and kind to me. He was even nice enough to let me take his picture which I will always treasure. He is a beautiful soul and I plan on visiting him a lot. I’m posting this picture in hopes that it will inspire at least one person to reach out to someone they may have lost contact with or perhaps just forgot about. These old souls are still full of life and I feel blessed to have met this one. #abandoned #thetourist #lost_souls #new_friends

Pēc vairākām dienām meitene atnāca ar kaudzi dažādu gardumu. Trīs stundas praktiski nepazīstami cilvēki runāja par visu ko uz pasaules. Galvenokārt runāja Lourenss…
