Poem

Out a door through time
Chasing yesterday
Open fields, green grass
Draw me on my way

I recently shot this photograph while visiting an historic wooden cabin at Cades Cove, located near Townsend, Tennessee. The door is off-center and it’s a little dark, but if the light draws your interest, prints are available in my gallery.

Thanks for dropping by!

    I love old wooden floors, as rough as they may be.

      These cabins are old, indeed – built around the mid-1800’s. 👍

    True classics. I used to work in a lot of Civil War era structures in the Winchester area of WV. I walked in lot of history that humbled me …
