I’ve brought you along with me many times to the deserted farm around the corner…and here we go again.
A developer (hissssss boooo) purchased the property a few months ago and several of the buildings have been torn down. The two or three remaining have really deteriorated.
Yet…on a foggy morning last week there was so much beauty still to be found.
Today is my photo version of The Dance of the Seven Veils: a slow reveal of one of the last buildings standing.
The tall brown stalks are mulleins going to seed. The mullein is a wildflower as well as an herbal utility player. You can smoke it, drink it or apply it as a poultice.
Or, you can crouch behind some to shoot your photographs, getting some pretty sweet vertical lines in the bargain.

The fog doesn’t play a starring role in this series, yet it served as a filter for all of my shots that morning, subtly softening both the landscape and the buildings. That will be more obvious in the next couple of posts.
