Lyons Manor

[invisible]

This is Lyons Manor, a house that once belonged to a well-known businessman in the small town of Carberry (Manitoba). We were awed by the size and architectural quality of the house, uncommon for a rural residence in this area. As can be seen in one of the windows to the left, the exterior of the house was made of brick, which is very rare in rural Manitoba.

This was clearly a posh residence back in its day.

Unfortunately, the place looked like it had been ravaged by vandals at some point or two, so there was not much left.

IMO I think it will be better when the outside isnt as bright so you dont have that much range. I hope some millionaire will buy this property and restore it to its original glory!

I like this a lot. It actually held my attention for awhile. What a wonderful house. I like that the outside is bright, it brings contrast, not only in color, but a bright and happy outside, and the dark run down inside.

This was shot with a Tokina 11-16mm. Love this lens!

Could be... but I'm not worried about the wide range – I love me a challenge!

Thanks for noticing that. Hadn't it been for the beautiful greens outside, I would've converted this one to B&W like most of my abandonment images of the last few months.

Thanks everybody for your kind comments!
