Imagination is a licensed trespasser: it has no fear of dogs but may climb over walls and peep in at windows with impunity.

That’s a great quote; one I’ve never read before and it’s perfect for your photo. There is so much in this image that also speaks of neglect and decay. That private property sign is probably the most significant to me. I love how images like this have so much to say or at least so much for the imagination, as Eliot had said.

The number system for houses in your part of the world always astonishes me 🙂

Nice find and a perfect quote to accompany it. The adventure in exploring is imagining the lives that have passed there over the many years.

It actually looks like with a bit of TLC, Sherri, someone could really spruce this place up. Too bad it’s “private property.”

Decayed perhaps, but it must have a story to tell. I love where imagination can take a person.

Beautiful light and shadow on this beautifully weathered wood. Excellent in B&W.
