door/window final part II

The top photo was taken in Old Lyon District, Lyon, France. These buildings were all Renaissance and back, stopping around the Middle Ages. They were fascinating old buildings. This tower houses a staircase, and in life is a much brighter red.
The bottom photo was taken last winter about ten minutes from my house in Hopewell, NJ, in the middle of the Sourland Mountain Preserve. The remains of this house stands on the front part of someone's property. I took it from my car window because a sign in the driveway I was parked in had a rather frightening "No Trespassing" sign on it and I wanted to be able to get away quickly. This area is pretty sparsely populated, full of unkempt dirt roads and fallen farmhouses. The people here are protective of their property, which is unfortunate because I find the abandoned buildings on the mountain really quite beautiful.
