Is there a story behind this? It looks like a perfect place to go
and dream. Could be spooky at night - perfect for coming up with
some ghost stories. There were some ruins in a field with woods
near where I grew up, which had formerly been the 'Old Hall'. The
house had been by the river, but the river became polluted as the
Industrial Revolution got into full swing and eventually the stench
got so bad the owners had to give up and move out. SO the place was
left derelict and over the years local farmers picked up the stones
and bricks for outhouses, walls, etc. It was acually on private
land, but my dad knew the farmer, so occasionally we'd take a walk
that way. They were probably in the about the same state as the
ones in the photograph. There was something so evocative about
them. You could almost imagine the people who'd been there in
happier (for them!) times.
Funny how a picture can trigger memories.
The remains are of the Bulow Plantation in Florida (USA). It was
destroyed in the Second Seminole War. I like to visit the place, as
it is very quiet and peaceful, as well as offering some good hiking
trails. Rebecca, you are right, this building can conjure some
memories. I'm glad it brought some back for you. Thanks for
sharing.
