Thank everyone for the nice comments. The house was a nice find, and I have a lot of shots from there. There's also some of the interior taken through windows, with an old piano and furniture. You have to wonder what happened where they just left and didn't remove everything. They took a lot of stuff, I imagine. There were no pictures or knick-knacks, but there was also a fair amount of furniture there as well.
Originally posted by ToddK I really like this as well. Great looking old wood. The other element that I like is the reflection of fall colors in the window.
I'm so glad someone noticed that. I liked that too!
Originally posted by GRB I like the symmetry and the preservation of the image of aged wood; however, I most appreciate that it stimulates the imagination of those who occupied the dwelling.
I agree. The aged wood etc. is what caught my eye, but I did stay wandering around wondering about their situation. But I guess it'll be left to our imaginations.

Well, there are a few bears around here, but it's actually a VERY peaceful place. There were beautiful autumn colors with a slight breeze carrying the songs of birds
Originally posted by ashurbanipal I really like it! That weathered wood is so interesting, and you've got a nice composition going on with the chair and window. Surprised the glass in the window is intact!
The whole house was in pretty fair condition, although weathered and obviously unoccupied for a LONG time. No windows broken, or any other obvious damage. It was pretty isolated. I don't think bored kids had come across it or anything.
