Drove past this old house again the other day, but the light was not at it's best (pretty much dreary and overcast tbh) so I didn't expect to get much out of a fairly flat scene, but I took the photo none the less to see what I could do in post processing.

I added the colour and grain to try and make it look older and foreboding - and if you remember the horror movie from the seventies, well, this kinda reminds me a little bit of that Amityville House of Horror... All it needs now are some flies and a few spooks to start banging against the walls...

C&C as always nice.

    Well done Paul, I like the processing.
    BTW Both my parents came from Lancashire. I was born and raised in southeastern massachusetts and there was an Iddon family in our town that were friends of my folks. They had a son my age but I can't recall his name as that was back in the 1940's.

    Cheers John.

    There were not a lot of Iddon's around - still aren't in the grand scheme of things... It may be a smaller world than you think.. :)
