Default Echo's of the past

If you listen closely, you can almost hear the laughter of children; now grown old playing tag and chasing fire-flies.

Thanks. Me Too. This was build failry close to a creek, so it was most likely build without running water. I always wonder, why a home was abandonded.

There should be childrens laughter everywhere, real or remembered, a lovely pair of pictures and a lovely commentary

What emotions has this home harboured in the past. Did the nearby river provide fish for mealtimes? Did tears of joy flow with each new birth, and sadness with each passing? The imagination can run wild, and the chances are that even when this old building has long gone, your shot will still be stirring the emotions. PAUL

I too love old buildings and wonder about their stories of the families that lived there at one time. It's sad to see homes abandoned! They were once someone's home! TFS with us!
