There's a story there, for sure.

Good shot and caption. When I see houses like this it always makes me wonder why they've been abandoned. vote.

Nice shot and great capture..........reminds me that when we leave here, we take nothing material with us.

I think a lot like Greg.
I think about the history of this place and the people who once lived here.
I also wonder about last song played by the new looking blue drum inside.
Cliff22-Dec-2006 08:25
Interesting image with the spashes of colour.
Always thought provoking, your images, Karen.
Greg Harp22-Dec-2006 04:04
Interesting find, well presented. I agree that it's a shame that someone's home should be reduced to this. Every time I run across an old derelict of a house I always wonder about the people that built it (and the pride they showed in their workmanship), the families that lived here, etc. Interestingly enough the z-bar (the white bar on the right along the roof) looks pretty new...

I agree with Barb, an awfull shame.
Stu21-Dec-2006 09:57

This looks like a very inviting building, Karen!
Guest 19-Dec-2006 22:23
Well captured, as usual. A dramatic, poignant image.
JW19-Dec-2006 22:19
Intriguing picture. The drum looks so strange
Rich Westfall19-Dec-2006 21:48
Very interesting shot. Another place that world has left behind. Welcome to our state.

Super find and photo Karen. Excellent title. GMV
Guest 19-Dec-2006 21:18
Drum and red chair are the disturbing elements there. But the reason of the decay is also mysterious. Great find.
Lori Rolfe19-Dec-2006 18:25
I love the bright blue and red that stand out. Great contrast of materials..... v!
Kathy Pedersen19-Dec-2006 18:24
What an unsual find Karen, the ruins of this building and yet, the drum seems to be untouched by any disaster or decay of this old home. Well seen~ Voted

The drum !! what a strange combination. Your ability to find true life never lessens, Karen.
Guest 19-Dec-2006 14:10
Excellent composition, it emphasizes the empty space behind. Really nice shot!
Richard Vance19-Dec-2006 13:56
Looks like somebody really raised the roof with their drum playing! Very intriguing scenario and superbly composed and exposed image, Karen.
Best to you,
Dick:)
Breland19-Dec-2006 13:48
It saddens me to see old building like this go. Looks like someone lived here not so long ago. Nice capture Karen. GMV
Gary Blanchette19-Dec-2006 13:40
This image makes me want to immediately hop on a plane and head there to rummage through the place.
Guest 19-Dec-2006 13:01
LOL, Donald. "Smokin' band" :) Wonderful, but sad image that's interesting to explore.
Sheila19-Dec-2006 12:45
