This was another quick snap from Vermilion, Illinois...I was shooting past Roger. Not the greats effort. I thought removing what little color there was helped. I also cropped it to remove part of the window area of the Rav's door.
I love this...it is hauntingly beautiful. There's a feeling of stark abandonment and it stirs a feeling inside that I wish I could just walk up onto that porch, open the front door and make it a home again. There was a family there once and it makes you wonder where did they go, why did they leave? It just draws you in.
