another see-through house

My favorite thing when I photograph these abandoned farmhouses is when I can see all the way through them. I can’t explain that attraction, but I guess it isn’t any weirder than anything else I like to photograph…

flight/path

One thing about grain elevators is that they always have live-in pigeons.

I planned on getting a photo of a lot of them flying around this particular elevator, but I just got the one in flight. I guess I could have used AI to add in a big flock, but I actually didn’t think about that when I was editing this photo.

And wouldn’t have done it even if I had thought of it.

But I could have.

in a dusty climate

I am sure my late mother-in-law thought I was a terrible housekeeper*. But I am also sure she didn’t understand living in a dusty climate and the way the damn dust just filters in and lands on everything, despite your best efforts.

(To clarify: this isn’t my house.)
