Found on a side road off a country road, an old building with some interesting parts…
My wife tells me that is a window shutter and I am guessing there is a window behind it. I think the brickwork is wonderful as is the old light above the door.
This shutter demanded a closer look. There are three more amazing shutters on the side of the building, but that will be another post. Thanks for looking.

I love the colors on that shutter. It would make great wall art as is.

Please drive very carefully as the winter can be dangerous on both I70 and I76. We are going to leave for a warmer climate, south Texas, about the time you return here.

That sounds like a great idea! Enjoy!!! My son is graduating in December and starting college in Lafayette, Louisiana (football scholarship!! Go Rajun Cajuns!). I think that’s nearby S. Texas. At least it’s a warmer place…may have to make some visits!!

Great color on that shutter: I expect the green is paint, but my mind sees it as moss.

Paint, my friend, but your mind spins nicely.

As primarily a nature photographer, I see a lot more moss and trees than I do green paint and finished wood, so I’m predisposed to make links to the natural world.
