This "paints a picture" of abandonment.Good shot.

It's haunted. I can tell. I felt the hairs on my neck go up.
The photo is great. What a cool find... snaking vines penetrating the home... BV

Rural decay...this is powerfully evocative of times past. ~V~
Brenda22-Mar-2013 21:24
Beautifully photographed.

nice effect on these decayed window and door!

Always sad to see a house get into disrepair like this
Mairéad21-Mar-2013 20:02
I am always intrigued by old buildings and wonder what stories they could tell. V

The windows tell it all. V

What a great find! Nature always finds its way to reclaim its space. BV

There is such character in these old places, one can't help wonder what they've seen and who has lived there. A terrific shot. V
Tom LeRoy21-Mar-2013 15:18
The vines seem intent on taking this place over. What a great find, could make a movie scene out of it. V
J. Scott Coile21-Mar-2013 14:17
They do have a way of finding their way in.
globalgadabout21-Mar-2013 13:56
the vines should prefer the light outside, but vandals have certainly opened the house to damp air..a thought provoking image..
Maaike Huizer21-Mar-2013 10:47
Sad and beautiful in one. V
Colin Storey21-Mar-2013 08:22
Great textures and tones in this superbly composed image. v
borisalex21-Mar-2013 06:58
Terrific colors and tones in great light to show the details of the vines taking over the forgotten house. A picture with a story! v.
Mieke WA Minkjan21-Mar-2013 06:11
a great find and so well composed V
Bryan Murahashi21-Mar-2013 05:00
An amazing capture of nature reclaiming its territory. V
Carol Rollins21-Mar-2013 02:04
Nature is winning and taking this over. Excellent find and capture.

How desolate and depressing, great capture of the disintegration of this, I guess, once proud home...V
Terry Sprague21-Mar-2013 00:33
Fabulous image Karen and capture of the entrapment! I bet it's sadly beautiful when the vine springs to life with leaves or blooms. V
Sheila21-Mar-2013 00:21
What an interesting find!
Great capture with fine details.
Guest 21-Mar-2013 00:16
One day someone may claim it and do it up fine.
Mike H.20-Mar-2013 23:52
Birds, mice, and vines are all that care about this place now. Sad.
It looks fix-able; intriguing image!
bill friedlander20-Mar-2013 23:43
Nature is taking over. Possibly a welcome intrusion:) V
Frank Brault20-Mar-2013 23:40
Nature will always win if you let it. :) A fine image! V
Helen Betts20-Mar-2013 23:13
Definitely an intrusion of nature, and soon there will be a jungle in the house. A great find and capture, Karen. V.
janescottcumming20-Mar-2013 23:02
Another few years and the whole house will be eaten by the vines. Interesting find. V
laine20-Mar-2013 22:52
Left alone it may one day disappear under that vine...great find, Karen
John Lamb20-Mar-2013 22:48
As Real Estate agents say, a doer upper.
Walter Otto Koenig20-Mar-2013 22:24
Great title for this image. Great details and clarity. So many possible stories here. "V"
Patricia Kay20-Mar-2013 22:07
