"Well Franky went in the army back in 1965 / I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wife / But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin' robbed / Franky came home in '68, and me, I took this job" (Bruce Springsteen)
Peacefully sleeping & so beautiful. Wish I had your eyes, Grant. A great find & your always great processing. You are a storyteller & your pictures are like novels to me. Thanks for this beauty. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

I like the sense of the house "looking out" over the lands, to our left.

Old house that tells so many stories. I always appreciate the light in your photos...and this house does too I am sure. Wonderful shot!

Wonderful dark tones. The sky has a very water-like look to it, if that makes sense. Nice.

Splendid capture of an old farmhouse Grant! The shrubbery and trees in the foreground and the trees behind the house kind of frames the image.

Great texture and contrast. A sad-looking building that makes me wonder what had happened?

@Howard F.: i wonder too. it was filled with stuff, now ruined by exposure to the elements.

Five stars and in my collection at vfxy! This is an excellent shot! I love the dark detail in the foreground of the grasses. The textures and lines, the tonal range and everything...it's perfect!

@bluechameleon: thanks, i'm honored!
@Twelvebit: yes, it was filled with trash, and the stairs/upstairs was very unsteady.
