    Beautiful capture and wonderful photography! Do they use this as a door to get in and out? And one would hope that it wasn’t haunted, given it’s history! :)

  • The door looked unused but I dont really know. I talked to the owner. He talked about its history but didnt mention any untoward happenings.

    great photo, makes you “want” to know what’s behind that door…

  • Thank you Sandra, yes it does have that sort of feel and that was what I was hoping to capture.
