Description

a friend of mine lives in a house that is over one-hundred years old, and when taking the picture among cars and buildings much my senior, it finally hit me just how old his house is. undoubtedly, this house (as well as the car) have both seen much more in their 'lives' than i, and because of their materials, they will continue their 'experiences' for some time after i leave this place. britlecone pines are arguably the longest-living mutli-cellular organisms on the planet (some said to live over ten-thousand years). i just cannot comprehend the longevity of these structures and beings that will outlast me. when i look at the changes that occur day-to-day, month-to-month, i am overwhelmed, and for those to continue for ten-thousand years (or even several hundred)... i do not envy these structures and beings that outlive us... they out live everything. here stand cars and houses that outlived their owners. now they are forgotten and alone.

Very nice shot. Twofold! The structure or the car by themselves would have been still a great shot but capturing both just made it better.
