Jessica Heidi ..., about 1 year ago

what i love most here, is the swooping cloud from the left…almost as if a ghost was escaping from the house

Charles Dobbs ..., about 1 year ago

Fantastic shot! Love the whole look of this. Really incredible!

Paul Louis Vil..., about 1 year ago

Thanks heaps Jess!
The clouds are definately cool but I can tell you that when i went out with the intention of capturing this place i got to the corner of the street and i could see an aeroplane approaching so i sprinted to where this house was located and took the shot just as that plane was dissappearing stage left!!
If anyone was watching they would’ve definately wondered “who the hell is this nut!!” LOL!!

Paul Louis Vil..., about 1 year ago

Hey there Charles, thank you so much! :D

J.K. York, about 1 year ago

yes, i want you to keep looking for these gems. this place has loads of character and your wide angle presents it very well. great toning, the overall look is rich and deep. well done.

Paul Louis Vil..., about 1 year ago

Thanks so much JK!
It’s funny isn’t it that the more “aesthetically run down” a place looks the more visual beauty it sometimes possesses! :D

LisaG, about 1 year ago

The reflection on the front windows is quite eerie, I feel drawn to step through the window and discover the internal memories…

Brilliant light and clarity, the clouds, all work this image into a total treat…

Wouldn’t you just love to see the people who live in them?

Paul Louis Vil..., about 1 year ago

Interesting idea Cathie…
I wonder if it’s like the saying that people end up resemling their pets??? LOL!!
I must look like a budgie then!!
So, what do think Cathie do you think the home would reflect the people in it or vice versa?

“straight to the…”

DarrellMoseley, about 1 year ago

Your image caught my eye. The woodwork around the front porch, is similar to a house in Frisco, Texas. It is being restored, in will be a part of Heritage Village, near Frisco Square. Do you have more of a close up, just to compare. I will try to add my shot, named (SIGN OF THE TIMES) to see what I mean. What are the chances they were done by the same carpenter, or was just a sign of the times. I like the effect, of the light fare over the roof. Great Work, ounce again!

Paul Louis Vil..., about 1 year ago

Thanks so very much…
Barbara! Louise… Love the Pool Room! Darrell… I took 5 shots of this place, most of them were from a little further away, this was as close as i got.
I’m going to check out “Sign of the times” right now…

Okay Paul .. as bad a wordsmith as I am …. a little wizened old man, who once walked tall, but is now stooped with age, in worn but clean clothes, ironed so often they are starting to shine.
