Some say solitude can be good for you.  Solitude has a value of being able to concentrate on your thoughts without being disturbed, being able to get one’s work done, and meditating / relaxing.

“For those uneasy with the world, solitude is the only guarantee of confidence.”

This house is located in Monticello just off of 431 past walmart, on range line.  It resides in a big corn field surrounded by nothing else.  The house is so broken down that half of the floor and roof is missing.  It leans to one side and is unstable.  However the house is so intriguing from the look, to the textures, and the oddity of it being the only thing in a vibrant field of plants year round.  I question as to why the owner of the land has not demolished this house.  Possibly it has some meaning to him/her, or perhaps it is more trouble to tear it down than to just drive his combine around it.  This is not the only time I have taken photos of this house.  The first time I made a visit I took some inside shots of the house.  Head to my FLICKR to check the other ones out.

This is the HDR version of it.
