wonderful light and lines in this -- reminds me of my idle but wonderful time in western australia. beautiful 'decay' here -- but in a comfortable way. and i simply love the telephone wires -- perfect composition, amazing light and detail!!

@dj.tigersprout: thanks dj. i wonder about this place and the surrounding area. it's a favorite place for me, but i only see it on the weekends, and it's completely abandoned then. that may just be the way it is, or it could be quite active - hard to imagine anything other than a lazy pace though.

This looks like my house before I re-painted it. Nice lines and contrast!

Strong tones and shadows. You know what it is about your photos that I get a real sense of? It's silence.
I love this one.

@bluechameleon: i really appreciate the comment. it's part of what i like about taking pictures - time alone and quiet.

Much different style from most railroad houses. Interesting find and so well captured.

Once again nice lines with strong shadows create a mood and unify the elements – terrific composition.

Great job framing this one, and the light -- lots of contrast, yet it's balanced. It really pops.
