Saturday was absolutely a gorgeous day, bright blue skies and no clouds and the temperature in the 60s. This photograph was taken just outside New Castle, Virginia at one of my favorite deserted houses. I like the bright blue sky just visible through the rotted out roof, it is a nice contrast to the aging wood.
New Castle is approximately 31 miles from my home and is the only "town" in Craig County (in Botetourt County where I reside there are no official "towns" or "cities" rather unincorporated areas).To get to New Castle from my home, I travel across Route 779 to Route 311 and turn right at the junction and proceed North. The drive is through farms, horse farms and the beautiful Jefferson National Forest.
Please stop by and see more Skywatch Friday photographs from around the world.

Only a stripe of blue sky - and the rest of the picture is so charming. Rustic and charming. I love them.

Love that! Very creative!
This pic is amazing, Erin. Wow! I love the rustic wood and the blue reflections. Great capture!
It was a highly original contribution, and I liked it very much. I especially enjoyed how the variations in the woodwork "pops out" at you.
Erin: That is really a neat capture. I grew up in New Castle but in PA not VA. Thanks for the memories.
I love it. I too think the glimpses of blue sky against the old decaying roof is indeed pleasing.
Your composition here is fantastic. I love it.
Actually, Erin, there are three incorporated towns in Botetourt. You can learn more in the upcoming 2/25/09 edition of The Fincastle Herald.
