This Was Once Home

            I remember when this was once home.  This was my grandparents' home, on a small farm in Northern Ontario.  It has been abandoned I think since 1984. Often I will see old homesteads, abandoned and dilapidated, and often wondered who lived there and the history behind the place.  It was a lonely sensation visiting after so many years, remembering Christmas holidays and summer vacations in this home, now that the people have all passed on and the property seems abandoned and forgotten.  I love taking photos of abandoned structures, and not often can you have such a deep connection with the subject matter, as in this case.  While having a lonely sensation, it was nice to be back and photograph the old home, as I suspect it will not be standing for many more years.
