Here is a B&W image I made while visiting Old Sturbridge Village in Central Massachusetts. Inside one of the buildings, it is interesting to imagine this was someone’s view back in the 1830s. Who were they? What were they thinking?

I like the thought behind the photo. That’s exactly the sort of thing I think about in places like that.
It is so much fun to wonder. Thank you. Cheers
Yes, looking out of some windows is looking out through history. I had the same feeling looking out the windows at the Tower of London.
Yes. It is so interesting to be in these places and wonder about the people and history. Cheers
But what a view. I love that house!
It is a great view. Thanks, Lois. Cheers
Awesome picture! It kind of feels like it would very well illustrate a short story by Stephen King – a bit gloomy and depressing… must be the lattice 😉
Thank you, Sarah. I’m sure Stephen King could be inspired to write a terrific story from this. Cheers
Maybe Lee Child as well, though it would be definitely different from what I have in mind – more fists and bullets flying around than ghosts and psychos 😉
Ha ha ha. Maybe!!!
Looks good in B&W and they were probably thinking I’ll be glad when this snow is gone! 😉
Thanks Teri. It’s finally almost all gone and the mud and puddles are drying out. We have daffodils. 😊
Yay!
This thoughtful view does make you wonder about the original residents. One thing is certain: it was probably cold and drafty in the winter…. heated by wood fires, yes?
Yes, an in a fireplace, not a woodstove.
I guess depending on what that building was…maybe they were hoping someone would come for dinner…or maybe it’s a working space…I love these spaces…I like his/her stories…nice framing…happiness your way hedy 😀
Thank you, Hedy. I think you may be right. 😉 Yes, much happiness here this weekend. Same to you also. Cheers!
This was a lovely way to present a photograph of a historical building with insight into the one standing there in that spot many years ago, Chris. This makes the photograph include heart and soul. ❤
Thank you, Robin. I think art should incorporate heart and soul. I’m pretty sure you feel the same. 😉
Yes, I may not be the best artist or photographer but I feel I add my own doses of heart and soul. Thank you for your vote of confidence on this! 🙂
