Photographer's Note
Harrisburg was once a town, close to St. George, Utah. There are a number of old buildings, or at least remnants of them, and many geological features in the area.
This February morning the air was exceptionally clear, and found an interesting way to setup the camera where another old homestead was visable through the hole (not the window) in the wall.
I chose a low camera angle using vertical offset to keep perspective, and tried to draw as much of the near far relationship as the composition would allow.
Exposure was balanced to not overexpose the sky, the gradient of the polarizer is shown, and keep saturation in the forground detail, and show the natural bridge in the rock wall behind.
I would love to photograph this with more of a dramatic sky, but in this area, morning light is required, and big huge southern Utah clouds normally don't form until afternoon.

This photo is fantastic. The colours are sooo vivid, and the photo is as sharp as a tack. Very creative how you placed the house into the hole, playing on the contrast of old and new. Very well seen!

Very interesting capture. The deep colors really make a statement. I see the other homestead through the hole in the wall. I think a close-up of the hole with perhaps a few bricks framing the view to the other homestead might also make an interesting shot too.

I plan to go "ghost town hopping" this summer and visit places like this. This is a very bold and effective composition with the building so prominent and close. Nice colors and textures. I actually like the sky a lot here.

I've taken many a photo of this wall. But alas, no more. About a year ago, for whatever reason, I noticed that the wall was nothing but a pile of rubble.
Like how you framed the other home through the hole in the wall.
