While taking photos I sometimes come upon a scene I could easily envision myself in, or perhaps better said, one where I could wish myself in. I believe it revolves around the scene radiating a sense of mental respite.
Paul Lester recently featured a photo of early morning fishing in fog that reminded me of this and I came upon this beautiful historic home among the trees during my own photo wanderings which also “fits that bill.” I could imagine sitting in a rocking chair or swing in the shade of that porch watching and listening to the birds while sipping on a cool drink.
What you don’t see in this photo is that just below the field of view is a “For Sale” sign. So yes, this dream could be yours.
I believe I’ll just leave it to my imagination for the time being.

Interesting that you mention that. I saw a similar home: http://paullesterphoto.smugmug.com/gallery/6118673_MQECp#384728570_Wx2nY-A-LB and felt the same way. It, too, was for sale, but I didn’t even look to see how much it was.
I could see myself sitting on the porch, enjoying the nice autumn weather, sipping on a nice, refreshing drink. Ahhhh

Oh yeah. I took this picture the day after you posted your shots of the historic area of your town. I went for a walk around downtown Summerville, SC.

Absolutely, that one qualifies! Nice shot…I like the way the fence frames but also draws your eye to the house. At first the fence looks to be the main subject but the house is where my eye comes to final rest. Looks very peaceful. Thanks for pointing this one out.
