A decomposing colonial-era building, near Middleburg, Virginia. I suspect that this is an 18th-century home, likely constructed with slave labor, that had been burned out and abandoned. Looking at this photo now, I realize the risk I had subjected the model to. A tree had sprouted in the interior of the building and a branch was both damaging the upper wall and holding the loose stones in place. Submitted to the VPTP for the theme, BROKEN OR DILAPIDATED.

Above the Potomac, looking upstream toward Maryland from Loudoun County, Virginia. Submitted to the Vintage Photos Theme Park for the monthly topic, QUAINT, CHARMING, PICTURESQUE. Fifty years ago this was considered "hunt country", where large estates of the super-wealthy, the likes of the Mellon and Mars families, dotted the countryside and their owners bred horses and rode to hounds. There are still plenty of one-percenters here today but much of the land has been turned into upscale D.C. suburbs, and surprisingly quite a few vineyards. Two years ago Kiplinger ranked Loudoun the wealthiest county in the nation.
