Cool B&W shot, I was going to suggest straightening the pillars but from the look of the horizon they're naturally askew!

@DaveB: thanks dave. yea, the pillars might be the straightest things left - this place has been neglected for decades.
its like in the ancient world of Rome...classic~

@sedex88: thank you sedex
A pergola.....? It's like the Roman collesseum. A very fine image.

@Observing: well...a collesseum made of 2x4's, chicken wire, and plaster...it's lasted a long time, considering. thanks for the comment.
wow -- such an interesting find! and on a farm? almost ridiculous! :) love the brambles in the foreground!

@dj.tigersprout: the name is a little deceptive. this "farm" used to belong to a wealthy family, and was used to raise race horses. much of it is being restored, and houses are being built on the property. my parents live there. i prefer ruins though :)
In one word fantastic! love the contrast here!

@Paul van der Meer: thanks very much
sometimes images simply call, i could try to come up with words but basically it's one of those images, I find it just and simply perfect.

@taffer: thanks very much taffer
Well achieved. Like the texture, lighting and the mixture of elements in the composition.

@Luis A. De Jesus R.: thank you luis
Intriguing... the pillars look like they don't belong in the environment - I like the juxtaposition.

@Daryl: that's true - at one point all would have fit. the grounds would have been carefully manicured. now the pillars seem to come out of nowhere. thanks for the comment daryl.
Beautiful composition, the foreground adds some kind of mistery! Are you scannned from film or from paper? Really well done!

@Carraol: thanks very much carraol! all my photos are scanned from film.

@danthro: thank you
I like this one --it has a very melancholy feel.

@Twelvebit: thanks. it's one of my favorite places.
This is such a beautiful composition and depth of field. I love how the 'farm' is barely visible in the blur and depth, but your title makes it prominent...which in a way it really is with the contrast of the columns and brambles wrapped around them Very artistic and creative :)
