Rodney Harvey's photostream  

Finally some excellent cloudage yesterday. Heavy, wind driven, angry clouds. 45mph gusts. I went here to the Musgrove house for a side profile.

We found this greatly situated little house on a hill in Sullivan County, Missouri. The window on the left was where the photo below was taken. This site holds potential possibilities in different seasons and clouds.

This was an old familiar sound to the people living back then. Slap, of the door as the spring tightens shut. Remarkably there was two screen doors still intact on this long abandoned farmhouse along with a pitcher pump still with its sink. This was taken just before the sun went down.

Tis down in yonder garden green
...where long we used to walk.

The finest flower ever I'd saw
is withered to a stalk.

The stalk is withered and dry, my love
...so must our hearts decay.

So make yourself contented love
...until God calls you away.

The lyrics are from an old English folk ballad dating maybe back to the 1400's. So old that its origin is unsure.
I thought that it could fit with this created scene. The chair was already there, but I supplied the portrait of an unknown woman which I got from an auction for maybe twelve dollars.
No texture was applied. One unexpected detail was my self portrait in the reflection from the bubble glass. View large. View original, if you have the time.

Also I have added another three images of the same house to mine Passed On set. I went and asked the owner for permission to go there. "Gone" he replied.

This is a different panoramic version of an earlier post. Near Louisiana, Missouri. I don't usually say this, but its best viewed large for better scale.
