The things that I liked to play with when I was a child were my lincoln logs. My brother and I had like 4 sets of them, which enabled the building of a whole little town. I would spend hours doing this. Built with lincoln logs as much as other kids built with legos.
At some point nearer the end of my life, I want to build, what I would call a "trapper style" cabin. If you have ever seen the reality tv show "Mountain Men" and seen Marty's cabins along his trapline.... that is what I am talking about. Simple, no electric and no plumbing. Would be like heaven to me. Will take a lot of convincing the wife, as she does not like such rustic environments, but I have a feeling I'll win out in the end cause she loves me. :) Right honey? Maybe sometime in the next 10 years or so I'll buy a piece of property and make the dream a reality.
I have driven past this abandoned cabin many times. It is just off of Route 36, a few miles from my house. Always wanted to sneak back into the woods and take a look at it, just never did. Decided today that since the property is not posted, there was no harm in taking a closer look. Not sure who owns it, and why they let it get in the shape it's in, but I would consider it a crime. It has definitely seen better days. Wish I had one.
On an artistic note, you will notice, I took this in black and white. Funny that I have a camera capable of capturing every little piece of color in a scene, and I find that I am developing a love for black and white. I go to extremes, it seems. I love saturated colors, much more saturated than most I would guess, but still love the simplicity that is a black and white image.
Here is another of the front of the cabin. I took a bunch of color photos to, but just don't do it for me with this subject.
Till tomorrow, bye.
