Lakeshore at Sunset

A few days ago, I mentioned that I've been walking the Lakeshore Greenway on weekends, and I also mentioned that the greenway winds through and around the remaining buildings from the former mental health facility. Today I had a really busy day at work and didn't even get to do my walks through the building, so when I got home I was barely over 5,000 steps for the day, and I'm supposed to have 10,000. I decided to change clothes and go walk the greenway because it's about 5,000 steps if you do one lap.

The city recently started tearing down some of the old buildings (they're going to preserve a few), and you know how I love me some urban ruins, so while I was walking tonight I decided to take a few minutes to walk around the administration building and take a few photos:

I'm not sure there's anything spectacular there, but I think they catch a mood, and it's been a while since I just walked around and took some photographs.

I need to get back into that habit.

They absolutely do catch a mood. I love the one of the building taken from the corner - gives that massive feel to the place.

What cemetery is that? I'm a long-time boneyard photographer, so that caught my eye right away.

It's the TN State Veterans' Cemetery. It's across the street from the greenway.
