A few weeks ago after dropping Logan off at college I revisited the small Oklahoma ghost town of Cogar. It’s claim to fame is that a scene from the 1988 Movie Rainman was filmed here at a local gas station. The film stars Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. I can’t believe that it has been 33 years!!
The gas station is still standing, kind of, and it looks like a brand new sign is up. Cogar has become somewhat of a mecca for bloggers, instagrammers, and camera bugs. Abandoned stuff is big these days.
I posted about it last January. Nothing much has changed.
Logan is out of college now so I may never visit this place again.
In other news this week, Heather had a birthday, so the three of us celebrated with a hike among the venomous snakes of Turkey Mountain. We didn’t see any. I always get the feeling though they could see us.
And closing with a drone shot up over my back yard.
I’m linking with Skywatch Friday. Come join the party!!
…I think that I just went to heaven!
Love the sky in your series but the first photo is my favorite
Great sky picture.
Great shots. Great skies.
Congrats to Logan. I can see why this place is a mecca for photographers. Very cool! And a great movie!
I like abandoned places too – they offer stories for the imagination. Great drone shot. jGood job, Logan!
Bello cielo te mando un beso
People love nostalgia!
Nice to see the ghost town of Cogar. I can imagine it filled with activities. Wonderful way to celebrate Heather’s birthday. Just the sign itself will quickly turn me away from the hike. Beautiful sky shot. Enjoy your weekend.
Superb photography! Kudos to you. And thank you for hosting.
Alan – fabulous shots, especially the family with the non-existent snakes!
Wish we had abandoned places like that here, actually come to think of it I think we do on the west coast.
I would love to see this ghost town but I’ll skip your venomous snake walk. Nah, I probably wouldn’t, but it would make me think twice. Now I’m wanting to see “Rainman” again – it’s been many, many years.
cotton candy in the skies, fire in the skies, Wow you got some beautiful captures
I haven’t seen such a beautiful orange sky for ages. The sky made the ghost town look otherworldly. Gorgeous photos and beautifully captured perspective. Love them!!
