Abandoned homes always seem so sad-- reading through the comments I see that I am not the only one. The red looks very nice against the bare trees-- but also gives it an added sense of desolation. Good eye to catch it
Makes me think of the old song.....This old house once knew my children, this old house once knew my wife, this old house was hiome and shelter as we fought the storms of life, this old house once rang with laughter, this old house heard many shouts,now she trembles in the darkness when the lightning walks about. Aint't gonna need this house no longer, ain't gonna need this house no more, Ain't got time to fix the shingles, ain't got time to fix the floor, etc. I used to love that tune. My Dad was a fixer upper and would whistle this tune! Funny old house with so many memories, I bet! Great find!
@ladydi53 Thank you Diana. What a wonderful song. I've never heard it before. It sure seems fitting to this house, too. I would love to know how this house became the way it looks.
Fabulous find, Marilyn. I would be very curious to know the history of this home. It looks like it was quite fabulous at one time. Wonder how old it is. How sad that it is abandoned. You captured this one beautifully, Marilyn.
My kind of photo!..... I am thinking of doing a series on old buildings. There's something about them that demands to be captured. I find myself wondering what life was like when they were first constructed and why they fell into a state of disrepair.

Thank you Larry. Great idea of doing a series of old buildings. I think you should. I'm thinking of maybe doing a series of barn shots this spring.

I love taking shots of 'broken' homes....but like scrapped cars, they make me sad, as the were once someone's pride and joy.
