Very neat find/place! The second one is almost humouros as well as creepy with the siding falling off and the tree growing right infront of the door! Did you use a polarizer for these?
Love the high contrast in the BW. That house must have been quite grand in it's day.
Saturation of the sky in the first one is gorgeous.
Thanks for posting.
That black and white conversion is ... convincing me that black and white can be really, really beautiful. I do see the beauty of the countryside and this deeply blue sky (ok, filter, but still), but I really love the black and white photo. Crisp and clear, sharply contrasted, every detail to be seen - a pity that this beautiful house has been given up by its previous owners.
