Strange how dilapidated old homes make such delightful photo subjects! You captured the allure of this one!
We traveled from Arkansas, up thru Winnipeg, to Alaska in January 2017. I recall seeing several old photogenic homes along the way in that area. Unfortunately, it was not where I could stop and photograph them...

Thanks for your comment, Doug. I am totally drawn to these old places, and I shoot them whenever I can. I hope you get the chance to get back to those places you missed in 2017. They are still waiting for you.

I hope so, too!!! Doubt if we would do it again in the middle of January, though... It really wasn't much of a problem driving. Except the whiteout as we crossed the Canadian border, south of Winnipeg; and the mud spray that coated the headlights in/near Edmonton!!! Temps took a little getting used to, very rarely getting below +8F at my home. I did find the brief experience of -35F (getting gas/petrol) too cold for my liking! Funny but -20F was tolerable, barely, ...if the wind wasn't blowing. Curiously, the temps in the Alaska Brooks Range were around -10F, we even did a little hiking there! Lol, there were not many hotel guests encountered, and the rates were rock bottom!

This old farm house is located along a lonely stretch of highway in south Saskatchewan. The highway spans the province from west to east, and has a total of 34 ghost towns along, or lying just north or south of the highway.
These old houses evoke a longing for what has passed. Your rendering gives voice to that. Well done and thanks.

Yes, for sure our winters take a while to get used to. This year we have had no snow yet in Saskatchewan, except for a minor dusting. The temperatures are very nice - above zero every day in December so far. It is very unusual, but we also know the snow and freezing temps are coming.

And to think that at one time that house was probably full of kids, laughter and was a place someone called home. Now it’s just an old building slowly falling down. Pity.
I always wonder, too, about the families who lived in these houses when they were new. Hopes, dreams, loves . . . Did they ever look back?
