* Melody's Memory *

... some of the last old houses along railroad avenue... where

children would get candy from a glass jar...

Beautiful directional light. Fantastic line-play. Exquisitely sharp details and beautiful colours. Very well done. Regards.

... to share your view... I like your works, too.. I love the directional lighting too... it's my favorite aspect

This *almost* looks hand-tinted. I like the way you portrayed the subject, but the lighting seems a bit harsh to my eye - much of the detail and texture is lost. Never the less, I still like it. I can't get enough of this type of subject, they are about the last things in our society with character anymore...

Very nice light and colors. Just coming from a western.

... sharing, Gentlemen.... this was a special house... with special memories... (Kirk Douglas is always welcome... Clint, too)... working on getting some subjects in my photos... especially with the "Portals to the Past" series...

Very unique old roadside stand, great capture!

perfect composition & light !!!

Tom and Giuliano... I did adjust the hue and saturation a little itsy bit...for my friend, Melody... she will be hanging this "Memory" where Spirts still dwell, on her wall...

Your superb way of showing your world Sheryl! Sincerely yours, Catalin

Ah, Sheryl, so nostalgic for me, my grandparents had a little country general store, similar but bigger, down in the hills of Kentucky when I was a kid in the 40s and 50s......God what memories......Thanks for sharing.......Jim

... to know what other pn members like.... thanks for sharing Catalin and Jim *

Seeing All this old houses make me wonder if someone lives there or it's an abandon neighborhood , A remain of the pass . There is something very attractive in this photos

.... area....abandoned house but there are a few newer homes around this... I decided to crop them out.... this was a grocery store, that my friend's grandfather use to frequent...she said they would stop for treats... I feel a strong presence here.... I think it is a girl child....perhaps that is her in the doorway (me smiles- paranormal activity is another of my interests )... I use to travel by here all the time as a child, but my grandfather never took me here, because he had his own grocery store, where I could get a treat...... You see this house right before you cross over the railroad track from railroad ave to the state hwy....if a choo choo train comes, you would sit and see this house with all it's lively activity... sounds like I'm developing the beginnings of a fictional/fact novel... maybe when I'm 70 and wearing purple I will start that novel....

Gorgeous shot with great colours, details, and lightning. Lots of history in this one!

thanks Torfinn  ;)

 

This is beautiful, Sheryl.  I wish I had a big, big  version of it hanging on my wall.
