NO Trespassing!! -The Toll Of Age And Nature

Craig County, Virginia

This is the second image I have posted of this grand old house. At least it was at some point back in time. The other image was a side view but the front detail shows better in this image. I noticed that the front steps are no longer there probably for safety reasons. Even posting no trespassing signs does not prevent someone from trying to enter.

This was such a grand home in its day!
This has a perfect look and feeling!
This makes me consider the lives that were lived there!

Definitely a relic of a bygone era. Ya gotta admire the ornate trim work. Love the tones.

I imagine this old house has wonderful stories to tell of past lives

That sure was a pretty home at one time. It would be nice if someone restored it to its original beauty. The tones here are just perfect. V

I would love to see inside and I can see why it is tempting to get in. The tones fit perfectly with this grand old house. V

A beautiful shot of this magnificent old farm home. It would be so fun to explore the interior.

It is a shame it has been left to rot like this. Nice tones and light.V

Despite its state it still has some of its past grandeur. Very nice perspective and processing work. "V"

a more revealing view, taken at an angle that shows its mass and extent...the house seems like an old dowager, aging gracefully..

mood.

Another fine shot of this once-grand house, and interesting about the stairs being removed. V.
