Thanks. I was actually a little spooked when shooting this. I was alone and the thought of a snake slithering towards me was constantly in the back of my mind. Ha!

Such a shame because the house looks like it had and still may have some great character. Terrific capture, you have a keen eye. Michael
Jane Brack replied 10 days ago
Yes, it’s a real shame. If I had the money, I’d try to buy it! I bet the inside is really cool. Thanks so much for your very nice compliment as well! I’m flattered. :)

mmm… i like your tendency towards desaturation… funny how that can often highlight the colours – maybe because it brings the tonal elements more into play … whatever, it works!

Thanks so much. I’m really pleased with how it turned out. So glad you like it!
