"Has everyone used the bathroom, because I'm not stoppin' til Belfast!" (That was a lie.)As long shadows began to creep in the afternoon sunlight, we came across this crumpling, neglected farmhouse, as we headed back to Camden Harbor. I ventured out alone. E- wanted no part of moving through the overgrown, chest-high weeds and rotting timbers. At one time, this had to have been quite a piece of property, I bet. Now, it is home for a few confused crows flying through broken second floor windows. Eventually, we made our way to the Waterfront Restaurant along the water for mussels in wine sauce and beers. Nice evening.
Beautiful shot, Birdman. I'm with E about wading through the weeds. It's a shot I would have longed to get but in the end I would have passed on it. You are heroic.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to see a beautiful house decay, but there's also something comforting in knowing that nature will eventually claim all. The flowers, bright with evening light, look so fresh against that grey lifeless wood.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this composition. It's very well done...I think most of us would have shot from a distance, but you got up close to give us a real visual taste of the structure's essence!
