Cottage Window by taffy

Cottage Window

Melbourne meets Northern Michigan! I saw Kane's photo today -- http://365project.org/karlow75/365/2015-08-10 -- and did a double-take wondering how he could have photographed this old cottage on Beaver Island. Of course, it is simply each of us being drawn to a similar older building/window. I chose b&w because in this one, the color of the leaves distracted from the focal point.
@karlow75 - here's the one I tool earlier this week and had been fiddling with in post processing.

Love all the rich texture and the play of light and shadow.

This is just deliciously and visually tactile! Of course I had to see what Kane had posted, and he's got me as a new follower, so thanks for pointing him out!

Love the textures and spiderwebs, really gives it an old and neglected feel.

Haha, wow, they are so very similar. I love this shot too. And a great idea to make it b&w to bring out the textures. I did take several shots of mine, and decided I liked this crop the best too. :)

@888rachel It's actually a very small storage shed in the section where Livingstone Studio (2 red cabins and the owners 3rd cabin that she lives in). She's cleaned it up a lot so it is very photogenic, but I suspect no one really would want to enter!
