Description

I can't imagine the hardships that the early settlers had just surviving a winter, much less making the land work for them and their cattle. This land is still thriving with another home built just behind this abandoned ranch house in Knutsford, just up the hill from where I live in Kamloops. An astonishing 'bone yard' gives way to many photographers exploring all the angles on this beautiful land. a p.s.... there is a bird perched on the very tip of the roof top! Great surprise to my eye!.. and a meaning for 'abandoned' just for fun: Abandonment, in law, is the relinquishment or renunciation of an interest, claim, privilege, possession, or right, especially with the intent of never again resuming or reasserting it. Such intentional action may take the form of a discontinuance or a waiver. This broad meaning has a number of applications in different branches of law. In common law jurisdictions, both common law abandonment and statutory abandonment of property may be recognized.
Common law abandonment may be generally defined as "the relinquishment of a right [in property] by the owner thereof without any regard to future possession by himself or any other person, and with the intention to foresake [sic] or desert the right...."[1] or as "the voluntary relinquishment of a thing by its owner with the intention of terminating his ownership, and without [the intention of] vesting ownership in any other person; the giving up of a thing absolutely, without reference to any particular person or purpose...."[2] By contrast, an example of statutory abandonment (albeit in a common law jurisdiction) is the abandonment by a bankruptcy trustee under 11 U.S.C. � 554. In Scots law, failure to assert a legal right in a way that implies abandonment of that property is called taciturnity.
