Butterfly Farming

That old house - Infrared


This infrared image was taken on our family farm in Indiana. The outside of the house is covered in what looks like roofing material and the roof was metal. The house was on the property when my grandfather bought the farm, so to speak. When we visited in the winter when I was younger we would all warm up around the pot-bellied stove.
