House of Usher

@Cromwell
He promised me a fav if I uploaded this instead of my perpetual flowers.

LOL! I stopped what I was doing to see if he FAVed it yet! C'mon@Cromwell get with it!!! It is a clever shot, Cathy.

[Cromwell]

Somewhere...in the great beyond, Vincent Price has channeled me to FAV this.

[Nita]

You did him proud, Cathy. It is a beautiful photograph.

[Michelle C.]

The BW adds to the mood....

[elkehochban]

Oh, Cathy - it must have killed you to post this! ;-)

[Rob Crosby]

Maybe you should have posted this "in the fall"? ;-)

[Sue Wilde]

This is sooooo funny

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. Definitely must have a story behind it.

[Rachel Mackenzie]

Totally agree with Dione, looks lovely and great in B&W.

[SquamLoon]

Heh heh. I have no idea what the inside joke is, but I love that you're having fun, and I'm intrigued that this stone exists.

[Cathy Donohoue]

@squamloon Edgar Allen Poe wrote "The Fall of the House of Usher"
When I drove by this stone I just couldn't help myself. So I doctored it a little in PS and there it is! And I am having fun.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Perfect for a Poe reference. :)

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Well done Cathy! It's a super shot and shows how versatile you are!!

[Michael Elliott]

Interesting. Leave it to Croms to come up with it.

[Abhijit]

very cool

[KWind]

Nice shot! The b&w suits it perfectly!

[Meg]

hahaha funny...looks like you got your fav!

[Meg]

I received your name from a 365er since I posted about the possibility of moving to Cincinnati/Kentucky area and wondered about it and how people like living there.

[Cathy Donohoue]

@megmills I'm not sure where you are from. I was born and raised here so can't compare it to anywhere else. I love the town and the people. We have all four seasons - winter is too long for me. We have access to the best of health care and things for people to do. What sort of info are you after?

[Meg]

@cdonohoue Thank you....can you be reached via email? I'm at work right now and would love more info....I'm from Phoenix. My home email is [e-mail]

[Nada A.]

LOL. I like the leaning statue.

[Simply Amanda]

Wait, did you edit in the top words (house of?). how cool!!

[Cathy Donohoue]

@amandal Yes. I took a little artistic license after finding the stone.

[SquamLoon]

I'm so glad I happened to come back here--I never got that notification! Thanks for the reply. It all makes sense now... I would've gone through life Ellington people that there was a Real House of Usher mausoleum... @cdonohoue

[SquamLoon]

*telling

[m9f9l]

LOL... maybe you could photoshop in a raven also! :-)
