Abandoned House Continued

by craic - last update: Mar 14, 2008

I've never see the house from this angle before.
The barn is in better condition than the house.
Bales of this season's hay stacked high.
I stepped inside the house.
It felt like tresspassing.
But I trespassed.
What is left of the kitchen.
The old stove where they cooked their meals.
The front bedroom.
The ceiling is caving in.
Not a quick death by fire for this house
but a slow, lingering disintegration.
As far as I can guess this is an apple grader.
After people stopped living here
they used it to store equipment.
One last look out of the window towards the road.
So as I pass by I know what the reverse angle is.
The finial is gone.
Probably white cockatoos.
They love to chew on finials.

I don't know this yet but next year
the persimmmon tree will be laden with fruit.

 You may be interested in looking at my recent trip and 1500 pictures + comments to 11 parks in Utah/Arizona. It was an adventure of a lifetime, and wonderful scenery-landscapes.

 Hi, Thanks for viewing my Montecassino page, I had forgotten about it, a beautiful place to visit & fantastic view over the valley.

 Thank you Jennifer for visiting my Parga page. It is indeed a beautiful city but I am afraid that it should be avoided in full season!
