Abandonment

Abandonment

“A man builds a house in England with the expectation of living in it and leaving it to his children; we shed our houses in America as easily as a snail does his shell” — Harriet Beacher Stowe

An abandoned house in Union County somewhere south west of Lewisbury, if memory recalls. I wrote down the GPS location at the time but unfortunately I seemed to have tossed that paper at the end of the trip. I’ve spent untold hours scrolling around on Google Maps looking for the location for this place with no luck.

I shot this back on 3-2-2010 as seven hand held bracketed shots at .7 stop variance then combined into an HDR and tone mapped in Photomatix Pro. Black and white conversion done with Nik’s Silver Efex Pro and a lot of tweaking. God bless control points in all of NIK Software’s tools !
