There is an aura of secrecy about this image. The old stone shack seems to invite the viewer to travel the path to its door and unlock the secrets of its ancient crumbling façade. As I took this shot the wind was howling around me bringing life to the foreground of dancing grasses, and the day seemed to draw a shadow across the horizon.
The path leading to that door pulls you in immediately—I’ve stared at it for minutes each time, wondering what’s inside. The way the shack’s weathered stone catches the light makes it feel like a secret you’re about to uncover.
The stone’s crumbling facade draws you in like a story mid-sentence, and that crooked path to the door makes me want to step right into the frame. It’s hanging in my hallway now, and every time I pass it, I catch myself wondering what’s behind that ancient wood.
The weathered texture on the shack’s facade comes through so clearly in the print that I catch myself trying to trace the cracks with my finger. It’s got that pull to just follow the path to the door, like the image is holding its breath for you.
