The Elkton
This is only part of a HUGE beautiful (empty) house in the town of Elkton Michigan, no story to go along with this one YET..waiting for all the leaves to fall to give it the spooky look then I will go back and get another shot..Wasn’t sure what to title this, its such a beautiful huge old house that deserves a proper name so I just thought I would name it after the town.

So this is like a prequel picture, a teaser if you will, of what is to come!...Can’t wait!
Quick question, are they red bricks, or has the house been painted red? ‘cause that’s a lovely colour you’ve captured there!
Kim Calvert replied
Yep ..just a teaser for the moment..The bricks are red..beautiful red..thanks so much Kerry.

Joanne Bradley
Great color and textures and shot an excellent angle! I really like the variety of colors in the brickwork, some of it looks like light and shadow, but some of it appears to be repairs over time…
