Abandoned..

I drove down the road into the country for about 2 minutes to purchase two more bottles (glass) of beautiful milk.

On the way, there has been this little cottage here for years! It’s going from bad to worse but I did notice at one time some years ago, there were a few photographers about .
Not now!

To be thankful for ( done the 3GT’s for over 6 years) .. now I’m very pleased to do just one:
John went off to Lion’s Meeting where he gets a splendid dinner. I had just what I felt like! Tomato and radish sandwiches!

Love all the birds on top!

[Clare Gadsby]

six years of three good things is quite a feat - hats off to you! meanwhile i love your treatment of this fascinating structure. and those birds :)

[Maggiemae]

@pistache Its up a small hill, so the birds get a good view of the surrounding countryside!

[Dianne]

What a great image. Fav.

[Francoise]

I see the birds i like have already been mentioned.

[Maggiemae]

@francoise Funnily enough, Francoise - I didn't see them till I downloaded this photo!

[FBailey]

It's now a bird house!

[Maggiemae]

@fbailey I would imagine there are birds nests by the dozen inside!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Abandoned and the birds have moved in or rather claimed the roof ! Nice edit Maggie - it really gives it the feel of loneliness and being empty !

[Linda Godwin]

Like your edit and its good your left the fencepost in at the bottom corner

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful capture...I so like old houses & this one is fabulous..the old roof & the birds & the long grass....

[Phil Howcroft]

reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's the birds

[CC Folk]

I like the processing, Maggiemae! :)

[Maggiemae]

@happysnaps I like the grass too, Valerie and the barbed wire!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Abandoned by man but not by the pigeons! Poor sorry little home- it needs a family but is probably too run down to fix up now. Good shot!

[katy]

I really like this one MM

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Thank you Katy - nice to hear from you! This probably looks a bit nicer than it really is! There will be no floor and birds' nests everywhere!

[Taffy]

I like your processing -- it gives it both a peaceful yet surreal feel.

[Maggiemae]

@taffy Might be all the greens that seem to be in this shot! The outside mould is quite extensive!

[amyK]

Interesting scene and you captured it beautifully

[bkb in the city]

Great shot

[Kathleen]

I love the shot - you captured it perfectly

[Marnie]

Wonderful old cottage, love the processing.

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic I had to soften the image somewhat as the reality was not at all pleasant! Could be called 'downright ugly"!

[Marnie]

@maggiemae No, no, no, grungy!!

[Marnie]

@maggiemae Would be good in b&w.

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic I did venture into that world but decided mould was mould!

[Dione Giorgio]

Looks a bit scary. Just like a haunted house. Still a lovely capture and tones.

[haskar]

I like your edition. As if it was in the next world behind the curtain. And the house is not abandoned. It's just people left him.

[gloria jones]

Terrific capture of decline and textures

[Diana]

A fabulous image and great processing, fav!

[Helen Jane]

you certainly made it photo worthy with your interpretation of it in this image. Especially when complete with the row of rooftop birds.

[Sue Rose]

Great processing and the birds are wonderful. Love it. Fav

[Pat Knowles]

I like your idea of just one good thing I must say...so hard to think of three some days! I think of one during the day & by evening I have forgotten it! I agree with you one GT today for the simple fact of having someone fairly house bound for a while to have them go out themselves & leave you to yourself for a few hours....just lovely!
I am back to pretty much normal today for the first time in four days so back on 365 tomorrow!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Glad to hear it, Pat! And I agree about forgetting it at the end of the day! I'm certainly not going to write it down - that's going a bit too far!

[Linda]

So much to love about this photo, the textures, birds, processing! Fav! Sorry that I did not get to comment last night. Was not able to get back into my computer (it was being worked on).

[Marnie]

@maggiemae Fair enough.

[tony gig]

Lovely soft capture...fav

[Ashley]

I love the green tint!
