Right across the street

[JimMcClain]

This sight is not exactly atypical for this part of the world, but it's directly across the street from my front door. I live in a relatively modern, rural neighborhood. I've spent years beautifying the inside and outside of the building I live in (I'm hampered by lung disease, so total time should have been months, not years). But this place across the street is just so attractive to me - its decay and rustic fortitude. 'Course, it doesn't look this cool in color, but when I gaze upon it, I see this.

Nikon D810, Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD at 92mm, f/4.5, 1/125s, ISO 400, hand-held.

Your C&C welcome on the above image.

Just in case you're wonderin', this is home. Except for the shell of the house and the concrete slab, all the work is mine - I am more than just an amateur photographer.

Great B&W. Love the contrast.

Great house too! You've put a lot of work into it. Looks like I could be very comfortable sipping a concoction on that porch!

Nice house, Jim!

Beautiful house!

And nice B&W shot! I like the contrast, as well.

Cool, I love this sort of B&W image.

Beautiful work on both photo and house.

No, I haven't. I'm thinking it might make a good backdrop for the owner. He's an interesting fellow.

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone.
