Of Long Ago

While driving through back roads I came upon an old abandoned home…

I went inside to take a look and this first picture was in the living room looking inward toward a bedroom and the kitchen.

I thought the light spilling into the bedroom was fabulous and surreal.

I moved into the kitchen and could feel that life was once very hard here. Again the light was pastel in quality.

I moved next into the bathroom and in here I felt an eerie presence.

This is a view from the hallway, dripping with light, leading to the back door.This picture was from the living room as I was leaving. There were all kind of droppings throughout the house and this couch was especially nasty.

Looking past the filth I was able to get a feel for how difficult life would have been in this small home where crops and cattle would have been tended on many acres of land. That is not to say that a happy and loving family did not grow up here. My best guess is that this home was from the 1930’s or 40’s.
