I love ruins.

Makes me wonder who  lived there, what became of their lives, why the
place was simply left  abandonned and not razed and/or reconstructed.
So much unknown  history!

Lovely shot,  Marnie.

Very interesting pic, Marnie. I can hear the  silence.

Lighting is slightly harsh though. What would it look like in a  BW (and 
maybe sepia'd)  conversion?

No idea, it had absolutely no remaining building with it  and had obviously 
stood alone for years. Although I did discover a small cat  (construction type 
cat) also behind the bushes about five-ten feet down the  road. (Also took a 
picture of it, but not worth viewing.) Looked like someone  was going to 
demolish it completely, so I caught it just in time.

As to  the second question, see my next PESO.

Yes, it will could have been. Handmade stone fireplace and it was in an  area 
that a pioneer cabin could have been. Also could have been 1940 era, when  
stone fireplaces were the style for cabins. But I doubt it, they were usually

 Nothing special, just something I've always liked.

 Taken  on my Redwood trip in 2006. On the way home I spotted a chimney, no

 Just liked the colors and  textures and the way, to me, it looked like a
 really, really old ruin (South  American ruin in jungle type of  thing).

I love ruins.

Makes me wonder who lived there, what became of their lives, why the
place was simply left abandonned and not razed and/or reconstructed.
So much unknown history!

Lovely shot, Marnie.

cheers,
frank

I was thinking 1890's to about the 1930's.  Rubble stone began to go 
away when labor became more expensive than cast concrete, or uniform 
brick.  Around 1940 it building a fireplace became a trade job as 
opposed to a craft job, so bricks pretty much replaced rubble stone.

 Thanks,  Paul.
 Yes, it will could have been. Handmade stone fireplace and it was in an  area 
 that a pioneer cabin could have been. Also could have been 1940 era, when  
 stone fireplaces were the style for cabins. But I doubt it, they were usually 
  
 round stones. Well, it felt old, whether that means anything. :-)

 Thanks  for looking.

Very interesting pic, Marnie. I can hear the silence.

Lighting is slightly harsh though. What would it look like in a BW (and 
maybe sepia'd) conversion?

Marnie:  Good documentation of some fun ole'ruins.  Very nice composition. 
I thought the BW suggestions was intriguing.  I like the way the leaves 
surround the chimney.  Makes me think of a lot of the old ruins I saw while 
traveling through Nevada many years ago.  If I every get a scanner, I can 
show those Pentax MX negs.  Enjoyed your shot--got any more?-- and big 
thanks for triggering some old road trip memories.  Don't you just love that 
about photography?!
Cheers, Christine
