On the Side of a Lonely Kansas Hill
Another view of this antique and decaying house seen in some of my recent uploads. As said before, it sits about 1/2 mile south of US Highway 24 between Beloit and Clay Center, Kansas--or just a couple miles west of Miltonvale, Kansas. Never heard of Miltonvale? I daresay few people have. To me, this image shouts "Kansas" about as well as any--though it could be used as a stand-in for anyplace in the Great Plains. About the only thing I'd do to this setting if I could, would be to reattach the wind vanes to the windmill in the background. Oh! I'd also reanimate the gnarly tree that blew down in front of the house (its remnants are visible here).
If I were to make a print of this photo, I'd use a slightly different crop, lowering the bottom edge a bit, to show a bit more of the post, and put the house in the exact center of the photo, but because of the rectangular aspect of computer screens, I chopped off a bit.
Don't be at all surprised if still more photos of this place trickle into my photostream.
