This Old House

I had some fun with this place yesterday but frankly
I have admiration for both places. This old farm house
has long ago been left to the elements. We've been driving past
it for 25 yrs & it's always stood on that lean. The only change,
the veranda on the left collapsed a while back.
Chez's diner has withstood a rail overpass & now a four lane road.
It has the cleanest windows which is a fair indication of what it's
like on the inside I always think.....

Something slightly Hitchcockian about this place (Psycho maybe...) - Super shot and finish. Chris

It looks like it was once a grand old home. There is something fascinating about old falling down buildings and the pp you used really enhances this excellent capture. V.

Great treatment to this...I love old abandoned places!

Susan Leigh		03-Jul-2007 09:15
love the treatment, enhances the 'oldeness' of the building. I bet there's many stories those walls could tell ;-)

Excellent post processing. In black and white and on the lean I can't help thinking about the 50s nuclear test films!!

Coleen Perilloux Landry		03-Jul-2007 02:26
Great composition and for sure I could take a photo such like this on the Louisiana River Road. Same architecture.

I´ve stopped breathing, as I think it would drop down within the image in front of my eyes. Gorgeous shot, and b&w makes it even more dramatic. Big vote!
