Forgotten Fogo Island "saltbox" house

[camperbc]

Here's a couple shots of a very old and long-abandoned, traditional "saltbox" house beside our home here on Fogo Island, that I took yesterday during one of my rare outside excursions. I am a bit surprised that this old relic is still standing, after all the havoc caused by Hurricane Igor recently. They must have built things tougher in the old days!

I shot these handheld with my Sony Alpha and 18-55mm SAM lens.

My apologies for my long absences from the forum, but I've been flat on my back almost always for the past few months. I am now trying a new medication to handle the pain, and am hoping for good results.

Just so you all know, I still lurk daily on here, though it is almost impossible to type while on my back; thus the lack of comments to all of your wonderful photos. Keep all the lovely pictures coming!

Nice shots! I like both of them, especially the sky in the first - it's very dramatic

Two very nice shots indeed. I really like the perspective in the first one.

I like them both - wonderful tones here!!!!!!
Sorry to hear you are in pain, I hope it eases soon.

Love the 1st one with the tonal contrasts of the sky and building

I think i like the 2nd shot better ... less dark sky in that one.
