My friend Bob came down from S. Carver, MA to visit today. She had bought two of my Yule photo books from Lulu.com, one for herself and one for a gift, and wanted me to sign them. But of course Bob and I don't just get together for such mundane projects; a visit from her means we go out to see stuff, and I'd promised to show her Fort Adams and Brenton Point today. On past occasions we went to places together that were new to both of us, so that we both took lots of pictures. But today we were going to places that are regular hangouts for me, and I was so busy playing tour guide that I didn't get to take many photos. However, at one point in our tour of Brenton Point Bob decided to go over the fence and investigate the old ruins of the stables, so I took the opportunity to take some interesting shots of some of the windows in the stables which had caught my attention. I think it was the angle the shots were taken from that intrigued me so. I had thought to do these in black & white, but you lose the moss and lichen and the graffiti in b&w, so I left them alone in color. The last shot is Bob in her normal mode, rushing from one photo opportunity to the next.

Those window shots almost invite you to climb through them and see the building within.
ReplyDeleteThey say eyes are the windows to the soul. In this case, the windows are eyes to the soul of an old house.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a nit. I was going to comment on how clean the windows were! Doh!
ReplyDeletelooks like a grand photo shoot! Some of the walls look a little dangerous with blocks hanging by a thread...watch out for your head!
