I made a new friend...

If you know me, you know I love old houses. If you don't know me... Hey, I LOVE old houses... especially abandoned ones I can sneak inside and photograph. Yesterday, I drove to a small town two hours north of here to judge an art competition at a new gallery and on my way, I saw this gem of a place.

I've seen and photographed it before, but yesterday was so overcast and foggy, I had to stop. The light was perfect! Here are a few shots from the encounter:

In every room, the floor was like this.

The walls and ceilings were very dramatic. Gravity, light, and weather taking their toll on the wallpaper and ceiling boards... Light pouring in through every crack possible.

This is my favorite shot. It's almost cozy. Weird, right?

That's all for me and my new friend... for now, at least.
