Just Guessing (Part 2)

It was still quite light out of doors, but inside with the curtains drawn and the smouldering fire sending out a dim, uncertain glow, the room was full of deep shadows.

Judy Williams said...: It has a kind of creepy feel to me. Heavy drapes drawn always make me think someone is hiding something inside. Love how the side plants meet at the top to create a rounded arch against the angular windows and doors. Maybe it's just early morning and they haven't awakened to throw the curtains back and let the light in yet. Is that wood mahogany?

Barbara said...: Bershire and Valley View, I think. The rest of the house has been stuccoed or sided, and made fairly ordinary. The doors remain as a remnant of another time (or portal to another world?); July 23, 2010 at 8:04 AM
San Diego Farmgirl said...: As much as I love Kate Chopin, I'm in a practical mood today: I'm envisioning a penny pinching homeowner with a drafty old home, trying to avoid turning on the A/C. You know, the ol' SoCal "cave it in the morning" technique. ;); July 23, 2010 at 8:29 AM

I agree with Judy...it looks a bit spooky to me too.
