Beautiful focus in this image Michael, the tone gives it such an old and wonderful feel, very rustic, I would love to wander around this and check it all out, it is so inviting! Wonderfully done.

I love coming across things like this. It really makes me think of the history of the place. The lives of the people that lived there.

Nice toning for this.

I like old stuff like this too. Sometimes I think it is sad things have to change and deteriorate.
