The Old House on 97

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

The doors are always closed, the curtains always drawn

An entire winter's snow and ice the only company it keeps

There are no footprints in the snow; no neat little walkway shoveled to the front door

Yet a small plume of air escapes somewhere near the bottom of the chimney

Almost reminiscent of an old man's breath on a chilly morning

Is the old house haunted?

Or does she merely hold on to memories from a long time ago.

Sort:  

i just love those winter shots

Me too.. though I'm ready for some summer shots now. Seriously.

Nice shot and great write up to back it up

if a house that old can speak...... I live in one and sometimes I do think it speaks to me (I'm not afraid). It is an old house of my grandparents and it holds many secrets and memories

Looks like home sweet home to me... it's gorgeous!

Thanks! It always seems so mysterious..

I've followed you...

I used to live up north. In a place that a few days a year is measurably colder then mars and the moon on the same day. Now I live in Florida. People down here hate winter and can't fathom the beauty of it. Thanks for the reminder of what is going on up north. Tranquil beauty, and comfort.

it touched my heart.

very good, you are fit to be a researcher
