Fine Art Friday pick: "Missing Page"


This was taken at an abandoned (dairy?) farm in rural North Iowa.  The farm had clearly, previously been equipped with electricity, but everything - from the buildings to the contents in the tiny home- looked so primitive.  Except...there were a few torn pages from a book that were scattered across the entrance of the disheveled house, and a couple more that had been carried by the wind, out onto the unkempt lawn.  The book the pages belonged to is title Mystery in the Tropics, which, according to Barnes and Noble, was written by Irving Speed Wallace, published in 1941.  (Lo-five to the author for his middle name being "Speed.")  This is the last photo I took at the farm...beautifiul as it was, peppered with history and a life's work, the place, frankly, gives me the willies.  This photo is on sale in print or on canvas, all weekend long.  Use code FRIDAY at the checkout to take 10% off your order.
