This home is along the main street of old Palmer. Across the road is another row of houses backed into the railroad tracks; Palmer once boasted 7 rail lines. While in need of some repair the stately lines of this home are still clearly seen.

I really like the colors here, Greg. They emanate the cold of December in New England very well. The clarity is excellent. I like the composition, too, but wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of the blue house on the right. Regards,
Hakan

I really love this beautiful old house!! So much character!! Can you tell me abit about the garage?? It looks like an old church(???) Excellent colors! A really great picture! TFS

Good evening Greg,
It is a very good image on this beautiful construction, made of wood, it seems. The light is very well managed, the point of view and framing is quite selected. Cheer. Good night.
Cordially
Joel

Hi Greg,
The house is indeed very charming and it really stands up with your wise POV and the beautiful winter light that you controlled so well. I wonder if that beautiful sky is natural. Even if it isn't (or specially if it isn't completely), I suspect that there is a lot of merit in the PP for rendering it so nice.
Regards, José.

Hi there, buddy.
First striking thing : the light management.
As long as I've been seeing your pictures, I know you've always been good at it, but... you're getting better and better. Specially the sky, it's simply superb. Perfect contrast & sharpness, which are of course strictly related to lighting. The better the latter is captured at the moment of shooting, the lesser the former'll have to be boosted up in PP, which avoids unnatural "trembling" edges en noise in a general way of speaking.
Excellent POV, featuring a very comprehensive and well detailed view of old New England. Plenty stuff to look at in this shot!
Therefore : great effort, period.
You have a wonderful sunday.
See ya soon,
Fulvio.

Hi Greg,
Wonderful shot of an old house which would be so lovely if it were to be touched up with a bit of paint. Lovely architecture, gives a real homely feeling.
(pity the brits dont build homes like that, maybe i should be move after graduation :-))
Thanks for sharing
regards
Paul

Hi Greg,
Typical early 20th century upper middle class home with ornate design to the wooden trusses of this multi family dwelling. Love the semi barn garage and the big maple trees in the yard. Very clear colors and shapr details to this urban beauty.
Regards, Tom

Hi Greg,
Good pov to show a wooden houses build with a little distance between the others houses, and trees without leaves in winter, excellent distinct image, well done.

Hello Greg,
another great American scene here, with sharp colour and lovely light. Wonderful.
And the usual comprehensive and descriptive notes. I do like the way you've framed this home between the golden-brown grass, the melting snow and the winter blue sky. Bravo.
Kind Regards.
Stella

Hello Greg,

Hi Greg,
Good POV that shows the real beauty of this old house. Here in the Northfork of Long Island you can see many being restored to mint conditions and the resale value is astromical... Very good investments.
Well done my friend

Hi Greg!

Hello Greg,
This classic piece of architecture is well captured!
Good point of view gives fine details in the house, so nicely framed by the naked old trees...
A well balanced composition, attractive colours!

Greg,
a typical "old" house of the East Coast and it seems to have a lot to tell as well as a lot to be fixed. The colors and light are great with a good contrast between the mellow yellow of the house against the blue sky and the blue house on the right.
Regards, Peter

This is a very nice winter shot. I really like the blue sky, the houses and the pieces of snow giving colour to the no leafs trees. Best Regards.
