The house on the hill



Spent New Year's eve in a big old mansion in a tiny old town called Gladstone.

I was excited to find there was a 'haunted' house (pictured above) up the road.

Evidently a marital dispute left this house unoccupied for years and due to weather conditions and looters it's slowly decaying.

Makes for a very wicked snapshot.

The cover of Bruce Springsteen's next album perhaps?

At one of the NZ Academy of Fine Arts exhibitions recently there was a painting of this house on sale - from memory I think it sold -fall from grace then. Such a pity. I think it was called Bird House or something. The photo you have with the moon is beautiful. I certainly looked eerie in the painting. JMC
