Walking the tract of an old plantation I came across this shack. Apparently it's an old trappers' shack, and surrounded by live oaks and magnolias it reminded me of when I was a boy and used to wander the swamps, rifle in hand and dog at my feet looking for whatever adventure life sent my way. Many was the day I came across abandoned shacks, the trash-pile full of treasures that would fill my imagination as I passed my solitary day accompanied by the guests of my mind and the ever-present tools of my childhood. There aren't many of these shacks remaining of the Louisiana I once knew, so I wanted very much to keep this one to preserve the past that I knew and loved.

Lovely composition, Regmar. They say we have the big trees...looks like you have a few down there also. Great shot! :) Sherri

To linger in the observation of things other than the self implies a profound conviction of their worth.

Oh my! That Spanish Moss....and those trees! What a wonderful
way to show off this little place! I do at times miss all this!!
This is a wonderful shot...just love how the trees frame it all.
Thank you my dear friend..Verena

Each of us can turn on
our own light.........
I have done a lot of backpacking in Vermont and have run into a few of these hunting cabins and this shot captures that feeling of great discovery. When you step around a shielding tree and see a mountain of memories in a tiny little shack. Nice job.

Beautiful story and image. I love the framing. Very nice.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

This went straight to my favs. I love the perspective and thoughtful nature of this capture. It brings back memories for me too. Love it

NOBODY GETS IN TO SEE THE WIZARD! NOT NOBODY, NOT NO HOW!
I love the framing, this reminds me of the old south. Very nice work.

Photography, expression that goes beyond words, Yet the Word gives us that ability.
Here's example of what I was saying Regmar:
Comment: I like the framing with the trees and the moss gives it ghostly appearance. Shack adds to the scene. I really enjoyed the narrative.
What I'm really thinking: I like the framing with the tree and the moss gives it ghostly appearance. I'm not really crazy about the color of the trees. It doesn't look natural. How did you get this effect? (I wouldn't have asked this because I wouldn't want to show my ignorance on photography and maybe it is natural) The shack would look much better if that little tree wasn't blocking the view. I realize you can't have both. The framing and the cabin with an unobstructed view. I really enjoyed the narrative.
