PESO: Endangered History

[Paul Stenquist]

A sad pic, shot on a gloomy day. This is a farmhouse located about a  
mile from my house. It was built in 1832, although some additions are  
more recent. Ever since I lived here, it sat on 27 wooded acres. The  
property was recently sold to a developer, and the area directly  
adjacent to the house has been clear cut and bulldozed. I'm sure the  
developer will leave the rest of the trees because he plans on  
building 10 houses that will be priced at a couple million each. But  
unless someone pays to move the farmhouse, he's going to tear it  
down. The only shot I could really get was this tight crop. Worked on  
it for quite a while. Don't think it succeeds all that well as a  
photo, but at least it records part of the building. By the way, the  
family that built it still owned it when it was sold. I guess they're  
entitled to cash in, but it's still sad.
