Haunting

SSC and Sight and Sound

I went back up to Port Gamble to find this house that I missed on my first trip. I had seen it online but never recognized it while driving through the town. It turns out the rather plain back of the house faces the street and the most picturesque front view faces the sea so you can't see it unless you walk down and around to the front. Ships arrived at this view back in the late 1800s. This is the Walker-Ames House that was built in1889 and is the largest historic home in the town. It has been empty since the town mill closure in 1995 and is also said to be haunted: www.hauntedplaces.org/item/walker-ames-house

I used Silver Efex Pro2 from the Nik Collection for the vintage effect. You can see my original in a note.

Psycho! =O

I say your post processing makes this house look much nicer. Pretty it is anyway, but painted with rather ugly colours =D

Great shot and processing =)

Thanks, Sami, I feel the same way about the colours. I think they might be in keeping with the original look of the times but I'm not sure.

Perfect vintage look, the house looks so much better they way you processed it! Aren't the Nik filters fun? There is so much to explore:-)
