Found what was left of this old stone house, but what caught my eye was the shovel hanging by the door. Wonder what it was used for or if it was some kind of decoration? Thought it unusual.

That looks like an ash shovel, used for cleaning old ashes out of a fireplace. In a house this old I'm guessing that was the main heating source in there. Did you go inside to investigate? If not, was there a chimney? Did you get a wide shot of the building? Why did kamikase pilots bother to wear helmets? Am I dropping enough question marks in this comment? ;oD I do like the textures in here, and the shovel is a nice find. I think a closer view of the shovel's pan, part of its handle, the wall behind it and part of the door and its frame would have made for a good close-in shot. Many scenes, and particularly places like this, allow for a large number of photos to be taken. Shoot everything--close, far, this angle, that angle, vertical, horizontal--shoot until you're bored. Then at home you can be surprised by what you've found when you see it large on your monitor. In my many years as a photographer for the State of North Dakota, my general rule of thumb was always that it takes 50 shots to get one good photo.

I believe Knik covered all the bases Carol and I agree it is a shovel to get the ashes.
Lovely textures.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
