where was this shot at?

The comments were as interesting as this wonderful photo. They made it come alive with possibilities. I like photos that make you wonder about the story behind them. Good job! You made us all think.

I love this.. the lighting, composition, textures, colors.. all the criteria met for an excellent photo. I live in Huddleston, and I also am an avid photographer. I always love finding places like this. Thanks for sharing.

It captures one with a feeling of memories linking past to future.........sadness to hope.........elegance to emptiness

The precious textures of life are symbolized beautifully in this emotive image. All of the technical aspects are here for a great image. But what is most compelling is the story it tells;a different story for each viewer. To me, this image represents the end of lifes journey. Someone spent endless hours watching life go on through a dirty, forgotten window, just beyond his reach. There is a sense of longing, yet acceptance, sadness, yet hope, patiently waiting for the next journey to begin....

Love the chair. Great use of color, textures. Evokes a strong emotional response in me. Nice!

This is my top choice. Could it be excellent composition or was it a delightful discovery and recognition of its value as a photograph? It does not matter how this photo came to be. It is important that it exists and is shared.

Beautiful light and contrast, texture. Evokes emotional response as well. Imagination fills in the stories of that room,the chair and the history of the inhabitants of that now lonely room.

Beautiful. Sad. Wondrous. This photograph stirs deep emotions of beauty abandoned. I wonder why the chair was left behind. It is that wondering that makes this photograph mystical. You get my vote for sure. Thank you for this beautiful picture.

When i look at this picture I wonder what joy or beauty maybe outside that window. Since whom ever sat there, looking out, must have been able to find some comfort, in what may have been a very gloomy situation in that house. I would call this picture A Wonder. I also agree with how amazing that chair looks, the owner must have known how to appreciate things

Too evocative for words. The other photos pale by comparison. You got my vote.

I was the caregiver for two members of my family;one died of brain cancer and one was demented for 8 years before she died. For me this photograph is a metaphor for the human brain. Empty but for a few items of mind clutter. And yet beautiful.

I love this wonderful photo. You get my vote!

I like the chair. Why did they leave it behind?
It only needs a nice recover and the chair will be good as new. I see a future for this lovely old piece. Someone will come along, find it and do their bit to re-cycle.
The chair's beauty shines through. Bravo!
