Seen Better Days WC628

This is/was the Lexington Resort,in Lexington, NY, Northern Catskills, one of many such resorts or hotels in the region whose heyday has long passed. Very few still stand at all. I like photographing this one at different times of the year, because here, in spring, you see how the greenery has taken it over, but at other times of year the actual building is more visible. I process many of my pictures of this kind of subject matter in monochrome, but here I wanted to accentuate the greenery overtaking the building. When you think of it, there's an ironic contrast between the freshness of the greenery and the ruined state of the building. Please see LARGER image as well.
