New photo's of The Old Rectory.

Hello. I've been to Claxby today to photograph The Old Rectory. The agent for the Auctioneers was there. He opened the place up at 10.am. Quite a lot of prospective buyers were eager to have a look around. The place is in a dangerous condition so large parts of the building were out of bounds. We were not allowed to view the upper floors. 

Silly me forgot to take a torch. It didn't occur to me that it was pitch black inside. Thankfully other people had torches. I was shooting into the dark, so as I pressed the shutter ever so lightly the flash activated and I could get a bit of an idea of the scene around me. 

I've got rather a lot of photo's so I will separate them into several posts. I have been playing with the contrast and saturation to enhance the colours. What you see here are not the true colours. 

I was not looking for pretty pictures. Anything that looks interesting fits the bill, while paying attention to it's artistic merit. Zoom out or zoom in, landscape or portrait. I have done very little  cropping with the outdoor pictures. Filling the frame with subject matter was easy. 

This is the front door. 

There are extensive grounds to this house, with several mature trees. Autumn is a good time to visit. 

The Old Rectory was abandoned 25 years ago. So this is a good example of nature claiming back the land. 

It is going to auction quite soon, as I mentioned on a previous post. More photo's to come. I recorded a video from the church next door which will be going onto my yoootooob channel shortly. 

Thanks for popping in. We'll catch up soon. Toodle pip.   ilona
