Old Wreck

I've brought you this house before. Here are three former shots - one, two, three.  I returned to the site recently and finally got a shot with a blue sky.  It makes a big difference from the past grey skies. The building has collapsed much further now.

I remember it well.

If you mark your spot, Mary, and take a shot there every month for the next couple of years you might end up with an interesting time-lapse video of the destruction of this place.]
Mary MacADNski: I don't get there often but that would be fun. We could have a pool as to when it collapses.

Even the squatters would stay out Mary, looks like its waiting to come down and do a number on someone sad
Mary MacADNski: There are tons of rusty nails there. A hazard really but if you are extremely careful......
Really amazing to see houses like that.

I have the impression they exist mostly of wood. No bricks are other stones used?
Mary MacADNski: The only stone would be the basement or foundation and the only brick would be the chimney which is now gone. I love this house.
I do remember the previous shots Mary.
You chose a great angle of view here!
Mary MacADNski: This is front on, horizon straight. Check the link number one. It is still that angle but closer to the ground now.

Poor old thing - not long to go now!
Mary MacADNski: I always wonder if it will be there the next time I am around.

I remember those pictures and thinking that these buildings could be an enormous source of good pictures.
Great one.
Mary MacADNski: I got close once. You'd have to wear steel soled shoes though as there are tons of nails in old boards scattered around. Thanks, Louis.

This is a fantastic crazy house(s) Mary. Wonderful perspective.
Mary MacADNski: I love going there, as seldom as it is that I get a chance.

Time will tell
Mary MacADNski: Lets have a pool as to when it falls down. LOL
It is going downhill fast! Like the angle Mary
Mary MacADNski: That's the angle the house is in. Even closer to the ground than in the past.
I'd like to give it a push.
Mary MacADNski: Ha ha. That would be fun. You'd have to wear steel soled shoes though. I got close in the past and there are tons of nails in old boards scattered around.

I did recognise this building Mary and as you say the blue sky does make a difference smile
Mary MacADNski: The back of the building is completely collapsed now.
You chose a good angle for this..it makes the house look bent as well as falling down. Nice one Mary.
Mary MacADNski: It truly is bent and falling down. I am looking straight on.
It's a wonderful shot. I love this house and would be tempted to go there in a storm to get a haunted house type shot.
Mary MacADNski: It would be a bit dangerous but if you're an adventurer and wore steel boots and a hard hat.

At first I thought you used a lens to make the houses appear like they were falling on each other. I always wonder how these houses must have been when it was alive with people's voices and feet walking on the floorboards...
Mary MacADNski: I have explored old houses many times and have indeed experienced feelings like that. Isn't it great, the imagination.

ps. The link to your former shots seem to be broken... I can't find them sad
Mary MacADNski: You are correct. They are broken. I don't know why. You can go back a few pages in my archive to see them sort through Views.

I don't think you'd believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes, Mary! It really is something, especially with your wide angle!
Mary MacADNski: Come visit before it falls.
There's always something sad in destroyed houses ! I like very much your angle of view Mary !
Mary MacADNski: The house is tilted back at that angle. I am standing straight in front of it.
Love the angles as the house collapses. Have been to P.E.I a couple of times when I was little and long to go back. (Sigh) Maybe next summer!
Mary MacADNski: Look me up. I'll point out some good spots.
