This is a picture of an old, old house and outhouse taken on Fisher Ferry Road in Warren County. Bob and I would go pass this house on our way to Homewood and Jasper Bottom Hunting Clubs. The house and outhouse is gone now and I'm so glad that I took the time to stop and preserve what use to be. It is one of my favorite pictures.
I am a sucker for such old places. I can stand for a long time on such places and try to imagine what the people that went before us where like and how they lived. I am sure in many ways they have had a very hard live but also a lot less stress above all they had time to admire the beauty of nature. It was an innocent time before mass media, cell phones and high-speed Internet access. I often think that people 100 years ago where happier than we are today.
ReplyDeleteA very nice picture of a place that I would like to see in reality, thanks for sharing that with us.

I'm glad that you liked the picture Othmar. It makes me feel good to share a photo like this and also wonder about the people that lived there so long ago. It was probably a hard life but I would imagine that they enjoyed the peace and quiet. It made me sad to see it deteriorate before my eyes. Marian
