Abandoned House

This abandoned house is in the small town of Wentworth, Mo. It sits just off the state highway, and it gives me the sense of years gone by. Wentworth was once a thriving zinc mining town with several thousand people coming in and out of its streets. It had a school up through a few decades ago, but now its population is down to around 130.

I went through the full tonal range on this, as it seemed appropriate to give some depth and feel to the age of these old buildings.
