Old Homestead

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted October 29, 2010208 views2 comments

Haven't posted anything in M&N in ages, but I thought I might try this one. It's all that's left of an old Florida homestead. The really sad part is that the owner of the property tore down this proud old relic the week after I shot this (for no other reason than to just use the bricks for some project). At least that's recycling, but it still broke my heart to see it go. LARGER version available.

Don't remember about any filtration, probably a polarizer though

Critiques, suggestions, and comments always welcomed and greatly ppreciated. Thanks for looking.

Hi Bill - Not many post in M&N which is unfortunate and glad you did.

I really like this BTW. ...... but where did the house go?

Hi Eva - The house was an old sharecroppers home that went away many years ago, probably in the 60's. They were wooden dwellings, usually 2 or 3 rooms, without inside plumbing. You used to see these all over the south when I was growing up; sometimes you will still see a chimney here or there, but that's about it.
