Bird House
Posted by Slackwater - don (spokane, United States) on 3 November 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
A drive by shot of an abandoned farm home in the Palouse country on our way to Lewiston, Idaho. Sadly, the birds seem to be the only creatures interested in this place.

This looks like the perfect haunted house to me...there is such an ominous feel, and eerie quiet. Excellent photo.

Edward Hopper would have loved to paint this I guess ! Super*

Ripe for development I would say. Sadly lovely

must have once been a beautiful home...it has a very 'creepy' feel to it now!

But now thanks to your photograph, the rest of us have seen it and we are interested, too. Will the birds have to move elsewhere?

What a great find! I think it would work in B&W too!
For that Psycho feel.

Good evening, Don,
the house looks very sad and left out. It could certainly tell a story about it. This recording is very interesting and I like that. Dear greetings Christel

Maybe it's the house from Hitchcocks 'The Birds', you had a lucky escape. But a beauty of an image.

That is a very weathered house! I like it, I think, with a little (or lot of ) TLC that it could be a very attractive house. Of course, that takes $$ which isn't plentiful right now. Hopefully, someday someone will restore it to its original splendor.

It does look like a nice home for these birds....at least something will get use from it :) I love the angle that you took this photo.

BEautiful capture. Such a lovely and sad feeling about this house. And even these little birds on dry branches give more sadness here !
