I pass this old house everyday on my way home from work. The land that surrounds it is slowly being sold off to developers to create subdivisions.

The textures are fantastic in person. I'm not sure they translated so well here.

Except for the blown out sky (which somehow gets aggravated in b&w), this is really cool. I know everyone wants a home, but the increase in subdivisions and the decrease in open land makes me a little sad.

I love old abandoned homes, but it's only because they seem to always make me think about my own... place in this world? I dunno... love them though. Very emotive image. Nicely done.

I like how much this photo says, with the hole & the roof & everything, it does give the essence of despair, the B&W was definitely the right choice!

Nice subject for b&w. Just a suggestion, but you might try cropping out the sky. You'd lose the cool chimney, but the white sky draws your eye out of the frame, IMNSHO.

I love the awesone textures, detail, and tonal quality with this one.....

Black and white works well to bring out the contours and textures. Visually very interesting photo! Thanks for the story, too.

I like what you have done here, and the textures show nicely. The black and white work great. Nice capture.
