This Old House

[Bambi]

as I was driving down some back roads in the Yarmouth area I spied this house. it made me pull over and take some shots. This is the front:

and then I had to go down the driveway to see the back.

the boarded up windows with the open door at the back made me think of the classic horror/suspense movies that I love. But I didn't go in, because I just like to watch them, not star in them :eek: :laughing:

very cool building, I wish I could find stuff like this close to me. Nicely done Bambi.

Interesting. Some friends of mine used to make a habit of finding abandoned houses like this and going in with their cameras to see what they could find. They have a few cool stories to tell but none of them involve chainsaws or anything ;)

Love the first one. Kinda reminds me a bit of Psycho! :)

That house is probably 100 + years old with a summer or do they call it a winter kitchen and a woodshed attached. When I lived in NS one of my friends lived in a home just like that only it was painted red. NS is such a nice place to live. That’s why all of the people that moved to Calgary always want to move back. I can see why.

thanks Peter. What makes me sad about this house is that the structure still looks pretty sound. I love living in NS but once tinkered with the idea of moving out west. I am glad that I didn't.... but I love to visit out west. :)

Awsome find and great shot Bambi!!! I used to love going for drives and finding old haunts like that. Only wish I had a camera back then. Here's an idea if you can go back just before dark and do a long exposure with you as a ghostly image in the doorway......... Come to think of it , there would be a great next month photo essay for us all being october and all!

thanks KB. it's not all that feasible right now but maybe in the near future. :)
