Nicely shot John Matthew. The vultures really add to the feeling.


Like the sepia effect and explanation. Back in the '60's, my dad dragged our singular telephone pole down the road to our house behind his father's '40's era Ford tractor. We dug a hole by the driveway and attached a basketball hoop & home-made backboard. Stayed there for 40 years. (Also noted the vultures, makes it all eerier.)
