Spooky

I had good intentions of shooting pictures at some of the older churches, houses and grave yards this week but just never found the time. I love old grave stones and have rubbings from some that date back to the early 1800's from family graves in Maine.

Anyway, Dorie, Althea and Becki and I were on the way home this past Monday when we had to make a diaper changing stop and I pulled onto the shoulder of the road next to this old building.

After altering it to make it black and white and blurring the edges I felt it looked a little spooky and a little sad.

I bet it would look much scary in the middle of the night!

spooky and mysterious indeed! old abandoned buildings are very interesting. I wonder about their history and they are good photo subjects. I am always afraid to wander about and take shots though. afraid someone will say - what are you doing here?!!

Great photo! Love the black and white conversion and the drops in the foreground.
