Lives were lived out here...

...but the last of those lives has gone - the house has outlived its purpose and now it too is dying.

View on black if you can.

I always feel a bit sad seeing these old, abandoned homes. I can only imagine what stories they could tell.

[Margo]

Very sad ? could be renovated, looks like nice stone

[Anita Campbell]

Ii hate seeing places like this go into disrepair as this definitely has. If only those walls could talk.

[Joan Robillard]

Old decaying properties are neat to photograph, sad to think about and a little scary when they are right next to your house. The one next to me has gone this far but I would hate to see the inside. Looks like the squirrels and chipmunks are moving in.

This photo is gorgeous with all of the different textures.

[Kathy]

A nice debilitated homeplace. The b&w seems appropriate somehow.

[Michelle]

Perfect image for black and white. Really brings out the mood.

[Jane Pittenger]

Great find and marvelous composition and processing

[Dawn]

A cool find composition and processing

[Margo Sayer]

EoB. What I particularly about this house, aka beyond the shot is that there is no inkling of sadness. Yes, it's sad that it's been left...yet inside there are signs that this has been a happy and cared for home.

[Babs]

At least it appears to be fully air conditioned.

[Helen Sanderson]

indeed..but it loos a while ago. Great in B&W..nice rendition

[Richard Sayer]

@hrs Thank you Helen - I remember the last occupant, he died about 12 years ago but the house was already in a poor state.

@onewing 😂

[Myrna O'Hara]

Maybe someone will live there again in the future!! Nice find.

[gloria jones]

A definite story in this shot...nice capture of textures, decaying façade.

[haskar]

great picture. I like abandoned homes. You can find many signs of the past and feel the spirit.

[Rick]

It tells a great story in black and white.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Always an interesting subject. A decaying house makes me curious about those lives...
