FROM THE INSIDE LOOKING OUT

 I love the textures of this old house and the way the light plays through the windows.  Sometimes through the nearly frosted glass and other times through the unobstructed no glass/fresh air view.  Each frames a landscape as neglected as the house itself.  Is it laziness that things are not in order or is there a certain beauty in the untamed?

OLD HOUSES


Old houses are fascinating.  Do you ever wonder what the people were like that lived here?  They had no electricity and no running water and heated with a wood stove.  The old rusty water pump still sits proudly under the windmill.  On those quiet days when there was no wind to pump the water was when they had to pump it by hand.  There hands must have been strong and raw telling the tales of the early pioneers.
