Even following down, this house (as seen through your eyes) has a very nice appeal!

A pity that this formerly beautiful house is so depraved. Again a great finding, Grant.

Talk about inanimate things coming to life in your photos! This house is billowing and huffing and puffing – in any case it is not grounded or standing still – a wonderful image.

Wow! I wouldn't want to stand too close when photographing that.

It's not often I get to use the word "ramshackle" in a comment but it fits this perfectly! It looks like the house is leaning towards you, under that heavy sky. Excellent.

I seriously thought you were using a fisheye lens, but this is even more fantastic. Crazy house!

"Live me golden tell me dark / Hide from Graveyard John / The moon is full here every night / And I can bathe here in his light / The leaves will bury every year / And no one knows I'm gone" (Tom Waits)
What mighty story telling, Grant! Bent & broken, looking like a ship wreck & still standing. A truly great find & an even greater photograph! It's just amazing & pulls me right into this beauty. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Nicely composed shot, and good tonal range. It's kind sad really, looks like it was once a nice house.
