Peeling Red House

@Ana Lúcia: Thank you.

@Betty: Thanks. Given the time of day, the lighting for most things was rather stark, and it made this shaded scene rather compelling.

@Observing: This one actually did pop out at the time. It was just past noon so the light wasn't particularly good for most things, and it made this shaded area really stand out.

@Amir: I know what you mean. Many times I have felt "why bother" and have only been carried through on inertia.

@Lionel Goutay: Bien, vous pourriez le prendre probablement à un prix d'occasion.

@Alun Lambert: Thanks. I did boost the saturation a little though.

@Marie: Merci.

@Daroru: I think so, but I didn't get close enough to be sure.

@JoeB: I don't know. One possibility is that they boarded up for a hurricane, and being by the river, got flooded from all the rain, and didn't bother to come back. Or, maybe they got flooded out and just boarded it up and left. Or, perhaps someone older was living here, and died, and it has just been abandoned. I guess another possibility is that the owners don't live there year round and board it up when they're gone to deter vandalism and theft.

@Mortola: There are a lot of houses around here that look like they could be harboring a "Leatherface." And I pass by quite a few BBQ joints where I can't keep the TCM out of my mind when thinking about their menus.

@Melissa W.: I did use Capture NX to darken the house a little and boost saturation. And for balance I also brought the trees on the top half of the frame up a little and the foreground down quite a bit.

@danthro: I did have to make some adjustments. I brought the foreground and house down a little and the trees up a little for balance.
