Not much to look at now but some one had found his/her comfort within those walls. Good shot.

Like the siding that has fallen off with nails rusted away, torn window curtains, window glazing dried and flaked off, weather has worn the mortar, leaving chimney bricks precariously stacked.

The texture overlays on near b/w drawing post-photo work makes an excellent presentation.

I really like the treatment you use of the old buildings Carol. It makes them stand out from the background. Textures are super in this one.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Years ago I chased a degree in fine art, drawing, painting, sculpting, etc., in the old Fred Flintstone method (you could almost hear my feet slapping the floor as I sat at my easel), spending hour upon hour at the craft. That being a large part of my experience in art, I really get a kick out of how today's photo manipulation and processing software makes much shorter work of the old goals, and how you do it so well, Carol... this is frame-worthy, without a doubt.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Your artful photography always creates a genuine feeling of delight for me. Each image is an experience that I enjoy traversing with my eyes.

The watercolor washes are beautiful, with the brown areas almost appearing as a woodgrain ... which is perfect (and clever) for the subject. The striped areas remind me of a low sun shining through the branches of a tree, creating long shadows. And the shadow of the loose fabric/canvas overlay in the upper sky reminds me of wood smoke trailing away from the old chimney in its cherished heyday.

Saved, faved, and treasured ... as always.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

So very unique and inviting, the colors and textures give you a true sense of time passing, but with a respect for the home. Excellent work on this, a favorite for me.

A structure that served its purpose and is now put out to pasture like so many of the other great homes, barns etc.
