Description

Maybe every photographer is not drawn to old, abandoned houses and homesteads, but I find that I have a difficult time passing such a place by without stopping to investigate a bit and take at least a few shots. This house sat at the top of a hill down a long driveway, but was very visible from the road as the afternoon sun was shining on it just right. My husband says that I'm a "spotter" of old, abandoned houses, and I think he's probably right because I see them everywhere. Without exception, I find myself always wondering about the circumstances surrounding these treasures of yesterday. At one time, this home was probably someone's dream and there was a family there that shared life together. Where are they now? Why are things so run down and in such a sad state? As I return to my car, there's most often a twinge of sadness that life has moved on and left this place behind to just decay and decline and serve to make others like me wonder what happened here.
