Abandoned Home in Sanpete County, UT

This old abandoned home is near Wales, in Sanpete County, UT. Portions of the house are old logs, so the home most likely dates to the time before 1900. This photo works best for me as a monochrome rendering because it is the weathered wood which attracted me. This home must have been standing abandoned for some time, since the vines have grown into the exterior wall. I chose a tight crop to show this detail. The detail of the weathered wood appealed to me, hence this image was rendered with enhanced contrast.

I get off the beaten track and keep an eye open for opportunities. They seem to be everywhere. I study the setting for some time to decide how to portray what is interesting to me.
