    You’ll have to keep your eye on this Robert.. will it fall completely do you think?

      I think so, unfortunately. If not through time, then probably from other people. Inside the first room it looks like someone attempted to light it on fire (and failed) as it looked fairly recent. Quite a shame .

    This is great! The whole look with the sky and dry grasses is amazing. I have to wonder what our fascination is with old houses and barns…they draw me in too.

      Thanks Angeline! For me, places like this are interesting because aside from looking great, they’re disconnected. The world we live in is always ‘on’. Roads leading right to the driveway, electricity powering the whole house, people blogging their thoughts, knowing where everything is via Google Earth & GPS. It’s refreshing to run into spots like these, left abandoned, just waiting for you to document their existence in their current state. It also becomes more of a psychological curiosity also, wondering who lived here before, why they left it, etc.

    Nice black & white with desolate building and an angry clouds. Great contrast, sharp exposure and great subject. Two thumbs up.

    Hi Robert,

    I love all the different textures in this image: the peeling paint, the disintegrating roofing, the dry weeds, the soft clouds. So much richness in a B&W image! Nice work. 🙂

    Hey Robert, thanks very much for following my blog 🙂 I just love this incredible photo – the drama! And the delicacy – almost luminous – of the light tones. Nicely done.
