Stop is well located so!In winter there is a great harmony of tones.
Superb

That's a most interesting mixture; the wood of the cabin almost seems to be reverting to the wood of the trees from which it came, and in contrast the stop sign and street sign are so clean and modern. I know that the caption refers to the sign but when I see scenes like this I do wonder how the use of the place came to a stop; whether it was similarly abrupt and the inhabitants just moved out, triggering the process of decay, or whether the decay had come before that and the process just continued over time.

There are certainly quite a few things that are "abrupt" in your photo. You have such a keen eye, Karen!
globalgadabout02-Apr-2013 13:26
there is a finality about this...it seems the end of the road for that cabin too..
duo02-Apr-2013 12:54
Wonderful composition to portray the subject.
Fong Lam02-Apr-2013 11:03
A wonderful composition with that stop sign and that charming old building certainly needs repair....V

Hard to miss sign Karen, but too many drivers do.
Sheila02-Apr-2013 08:24
Couldn't be more abrupt than this.
Creative thinking and great depiction of the adjective.

That stop sign certainly makes a statement. I wonder if kids dare each other to go into this house! V
LynnH02-Apr-2013 01:07
The red sign pops out from the neutral tones in the background. An interesting intersection! :) V
John King02-Apr-2013 00:51
Superb sense of place on a fine bright day. Abrupt and also gradual in this photo... V.
Neil Marcus02-Apr-2013 00:09
Karen, I'd try this in B&W with slightly contrasty and dark tones. i think it would be dramatic.
sue anne01-Apr-2013 23:34
It looks like the roads are kept up and the building needs some attention. v
woody3401-Apr-2013 23:16
Great find ...the old and the new...probably built before road traffic,but a reminder with that sign...V
Mairéad01-Apr-2013 22:36
An arresting scene indeed. Great light and the sign is a fabulous splash of colour. V
Walter Otto Koenig01-Apr-2013 22:34
Great shot with the inclusion of the well placed stop sign. Wonderful lighting and the open window is intriguing. "V"
Frank Brault01-Apr-2013 22:07
A superb composition, especially with the red stop sign. I'm not sure i would feel safe in that cabin. :) V
laine01-Apr-2013 22:06
Even on country roads you need to observe the signs...what a lovely old building

A vine covered cabin like that would have caught my eye immediately. I find such places unutterably charming! I love the way you've photographed this, with the vivid stop sign. V
Helen Betts01-Apr-2013 20:57
A great scene, especially with that stop sign. I think I might have stopped before seeing it ;-). Love the color; that sign really sets the image off. V.

Oh, Karen. I've never been here but it sure looks like home.
