Stone House

[olivermoss]

I've been trying to get out and walk as much as possible to get away from screens. I walked out to reshoot this place in Forest Park. It was my 3rd attempt to get back there. They are replacing bridges and repairing trails, but not being super good and updating the online info or the detour signs.

I am glad to have newer, higher res images but I am not 100% happy with this set. (I downscale to upload to DW, to not eat through my space here too fast.) At the same time, I do like them and pairing the shoot down to just a few pictures was hard. I'll go out again at a point to take more pictures, once I figure out what I want to do with the shots.

Getting good angles and distance on this place is hard with the terrain as sloped as it is. This is the one time I wish I did drone photography.

What a gorgeous little house! Do you know how old it is?

[olivermoss]

It was built in 1929 as a waystation for hikers in the area.

Great photos! I hope they do help get you out of the house and off screens with your concussion.

I love the third photo the best.

Thanks! I usually don't allow blown out highlights in my photos, but it seemed to work for these shots.

Very pretty pictures. I like the stonework. I have friended you because I'm always looking for people who post pictures -- I enjoy linking those.
