This is an image that I have re-worked from a trip to Saratoga, Wyoming, last year. A house slowly is reclaimed by nature, perhaps now home to lost souls.

Beautiful! If those walls could talk just imagine all the life they could expose.

Love it! I think the TV antenna is a nice but the roof color is the spice in this one.

Yeah I like it also and the antenna rocks. A perfect addition, imo. Thanks Jagged.

Well, you sure got the title right. Nice picture, but I think I would make a wide circle around that place.

There are actually a lot of spooky old abandoned homes in that town as it was once a lumber town and then when that left it was essentially dead.

that’s a sad thing.

I will never figure out how you always manage to get the clouds to participate so nicely in your work. I guess some things I’m neither meant, nor required, to understand. Outstanding work, Mike.

Hi Alex!. When the right clouds are processed with the right filters I get the look I am after. The arrangement of the clouds are just a matter of good timing and luck.
Thanks, eh.

It does look spooky and the wispy clouds seem to add to the atmosphere.

Do not be fooled by wispy. There are ‘things’ in those clouds.

If “a roof over our heads” is such a primary need, why do we build roofs that always fall in first leaving walls standing? That always struck me as inconsistent with what we say is essential. This is a great editing job. I like it very much.

Has something to do with how much wood a woodchuck can chuck. Or, it might have to do with gravity and the force a roof would feel being suspended and all. Or, if the roof was the last thing to go that may well create a scenario where the walls give first, bringing the roof down on us. But I am glad you like it, eh.
