Forgotten Fogo Island "saltbox" house

[Fotografer]

Here's a couple shots of a very old and long-abandoned, traditional &quot;saltbox&quot; house beside our home here on Fogo Island, that I took yesterday during one of my rare outside excursions. I am a bit surprised that this old relic is still standing, after all the havoc caused by Hurricane Igor recently. They must have built things tougher in the old days!</p>

<p>I shot these handheld with my Sony Alpha and 18-55mm SAM lens.</p>

<p>My apologies for my long absences from the forum, but I've been flat on my back almost always for the past few months. I am now trying a new medication to handle the pain, and am hoping for good results. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just so you all know, I still lurk daily on here, though it is almost impossible to type while on my back; thus the lack of comments to all of your wonderful photos. Keep all the lovely pictures coming!</p>
