The "Great Room"

I have captured many images of old homes from the inside and out.
There are some very cool places to shoot and some are just plane nasty
on the inside while the outside is just right. The outside of this old home
near Limerick SK. was nice and the snow covered fields looked good with the tall uncut grass.
Trust me I said "I'm going in for a closer look" At first it was just a standard floor plan
two story...but then down the hall and a look to the right was this "Great Room".
I shoot all my inside stuff with natural light and it was coming from the right direction for this shot.
Yup some places just have the right image..
It was a great day only -19C and a wind chill...but I did get some very good images today.
I will be posting well into the week from todays shoot.........

Your pov really makes this scene. It feels like I'm down on the floor with those old blankets or carpet.

I'm with Cindi... Is it time for a "Rural Makeover"?

Great perspective down low like that among the debris.

Great find Mike and a fantastic image that will lead into more...
I hope you were careful of Mike-eating stairs though.

Very nice Mike, makes one wonder who used to live there: did they have a large family, were they considered "well-to-do", did they have a lot of company or social gatherings at this house....

I think this house can be refirbished! I'd take on the task. That looks like a wonderful place!

Where do dreams go anyway? Do they just die as the years pass? This was once someone's dream life. Now merely a broken memory. Good photography invokes emotion. You succeeded with this one!! Vote.
