Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

I have driven by this abandoned homestead many times and today I finally had the chance to photograph it! I’m not sure of its history but that is what lured me in. I love old, abandoned buildings and the stories they tell. This particular homestead is located just off the highway from Oakbank to Dugald.
I was a little nervous about the road leading up to it, it was very muddy, and today’s weather made it extra soupy. I almost got stuck on the way in and thankfully made it out in one piece. Another fear came over me as I was walking knee deep in snow approaching the property; I wondered if any wildlife had moved in for the winter. Luckily nothing growled, scampered, or swooped at me!
If anyone recognizes this homestead and can give me a bit of its history, I’d love to hear it. Locations like this provide great, interesting backdrops for photo sessions (permitting we are not trespassing). Contact me, to book a session, and we can scout out some neat locations 🙂
