p.1 #1 · Crumbling Farmstead

I drove past this old stone farmstead a couple of days ago. I've shot it several times and posted other shots here, but they've been much more close up. I was taught early in my photo career to "get close, and when you think you're close enough get closer." Sometimes I think a bit more context can be effective, so this time I just shot it from the road.
I keep wondering which will be the first to go completely--me or this old home.

I really like this one Brent! Great tones and composition that really “support” the subject!

Thanks Jack. I also like it more than the previous shots taken much closer that I've posted here.

Great all around, and my thoughts at first the same as Lazlo's - dystopian Scotland.

For my taste, the setting is perfect - I'd have it hanging in my office.
