Wow! I love these tones of what feels like the late afternoon sun. This is so wonderfully eerie, but inviting at the same time. Although...I don't think I'd attempt to go inside. Excellent!

@bluechameleon: All boarded by the developer that now owns it, sunrise or sunset are my favourite times for light.

The haunted, spooky, scary horror movie, house on the hill, don't you mean!!!!!! Superb perspective for the mood and the stormy looking clouds are cool. I really love the light on the bay window!!
Fantastic image Joe!!!

Moody, spooky and delicious, I'd buy it sight unseen-if I had money- Love it, lvoe the way you finished it as well...5 stars, easy ;)

@Lorraine: You would need a lot of money, soon to be a major development. Don't mean to repeat myself but with 5 stars... I'm considering retirement from the daily grind of photography.
MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany
I know, you want us to find it spooky, but actually I think it's a nice old building. Shame that nobody doesn't want to live there.

@MadScientist: Never meant spooky, I was more fascinated by the building and morning light.
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Great photo. A mysterious house wery well shoted. Very sharp and beautiful colors. I like that blue of the sky.

Zorilla from H, T & E, United Kingdom
It appears that even the Adams Family have fallen victim to the sub-prime credit crunch

@Zorilla: Its horrible when a nice family like the Adams have to suffer from the greed of the banks.

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Have you gone hdr on us? This shot looks sculptural --like a painted relief. Very 3D.
8 Dec 2008 11:13pm
@Twelvebit: Gone HDR and I"m not ashamed.
Sean from Champaign, United States
What a freaky shot; well composed and great, rich tones. I'd say this warrants further exploration. Will we get a look inside?
