These are wonderful, Mr. S. Duck

That first one especially, skewers me, right through the heart

There's so much of that out here in The Sticks where I'm living, but I never get tired of it
That is *the* look I go for, the atmosphere exactly, the angles... it may not be sepia in colour, but in atmosphere it definitely is

Beautiful

Yeah the deep rust patched roof.
you both lucky tyo be living in the sticks.

this one does it for me:

softly lit autumn trees brushing straight lines against the blue...delicate conformity of horizontal panels...a house to put trust in and stories...a perfect window to paint and paint out of...a burning red chimney; paper weight to the gentle house that's been weathered but remains.

I really like this photo.[/img]

Bennie, that little house is the servents quarters for the rather large estate I posted further down this board and I'm not to proud to say before 1865 it was actually a slaves quarters. Ofcourse after 1865 it then became the servents house.

Jim, that roof is not patched but at one time the cedar shingles were re-covered completely with tin. Over the years the tin blew off leaving an appearence of patching. As a matter of fact I recently posted a pic of an old mill house and about two weeks ago it lost most of it's tin roof. The tin is still on the roof but it's twisted and mangled. Man the weather around here seems a little harsh on the dwellings especially fishing piers.

Yeah the deep rust roof where the tin blew off leaving the appearance of patches!!!!
