I dunno hailu from a Huppmobile...but the pic stands on it's own. Great tonality

When I had dreams of being a fine black and white photographer this is kind of images I dreamt of making. Extraordinary! ~V~

This is perfect in black and white. A wonderful match of photo and haiku.
Janet Donnelly10-Oct-2012 22:25
This is just loaded with expressive feeling ...... both the image and the haiku. Very impressive.

love this old house!
Mairéad07-Oct-2012 11:09
This picture is certainly worth a thousand words - perfect match for the much shorter haiku. V
Guest 07-Oct-2012 02:29
Great words....works well in these tones... a picture with a story.

Fantastic monochrome image Karen! Great tones and wonderful haiku! V

Great capture of memories gone bye. What ever happened to every door having a thermometer next to it? v
Tom LeRoy06-Oct-2012 11:24
Perfect work on this B&W, and the details are remarkable. The haiku is heavyhearted but fits well. V
Pieter Bos06-Oct-2012 09:46
Great, soft B&W processing. Well done Karen! ~V
laine06-Oct-2012 08:15

sadly the transition ages the old places, but they have such photographic character, well done
Bryan Murahashi06-Oct-2012 05:28
A wonderful photo in B&W. And a very touching Haiku. V

Image so well suited for b&w. Nice tonal range and good angle shows off the old lonely looking house. Not much life except for the weed. Excellent!
Simon Chandler06-Oct-2012 03:41
Excellent composition with contrasty tone. A great classic. v

Love places like this. Excellent Haiku as well! :)
wernere0106-Oct-2012 00:48
Hope your words are a little bit ironic. An image with a fine mood and probably a story behind.
Peggy W06-Oct-2012 00:12

What a terrific image. I feel melancholy viewing it. I picture two old people, having only each other, waiting out the time to when they are gone. V
