Photographer's Note
Orchard House was the home of author Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888). This home is only a short distance from Concord Center. Enroute from town to this home you pass the home of Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882). Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) is also from Concord but more of that later...
Orchard House was the Alcott family's most permanent home (from 1858 to 1877). Louisa May Alcott wrote her classic work, Little Women, here in 1868 at a desk built by her father especially for her. She also set Little Women in this home, causing guests to comment that "a visit to Orchard House is like walking through the book!" There have been no major structural changes to the site since the Alcott’s time of residence.

Hi Greg,
This is nice, very nice. The color toning and setting is deep and intense with strong contrast. Seems your polariser is stucked forever on your lens ;-)
At least a deep blue sky to tip it off...i like it

Hello Greg,
Leaden colored facade and same tones on tree are creating a spectacular view. Turquoise colored door and terracotta brick chimney makes your frame more rich with splendid blue sky. An excellent view and capture, congratulations.
Best Regards,

Hi Greg,
You caught this historic gem in wonderful light that bring soothing shadows over this colonial yard. The windows catch brilliant reflections of the sky while the red chimney contrast with the cloudless sky. Excellent note.

I am really enjoying the tour of the old mansions and this one is no exception. The architecture is very peculiar with the entire house in timber and the chimney in brick. It is a very nice and clear picture with excellent colours and a beautiful sky.

Hello Greg,
this old wood house stands out well against the marvelous blue sky with the bare trees around. Excellent lights/shadows control. Interesting rural view, no doubt. Bravo.
Kind Regards.

Another fine example of 19th Century American architecture.
I've enjoyed seeing these pictures of historic homes of famous American writers and thinkers.

Some wonderful colors in a most intriguing composition, Greg.
There's something definitely majestic and at the same time almost eerie to this house, even in full daylight. Which... I like!
Great complementary note, very good job.
Have a nice sunday, see ya later.
Fulvio.

Hi Greg,
I would never thought that a dark grey house could look so pretty. :-) Indeed a very charming image, that reminisces much the ambiance of "Little Women". I remember seeing the film starring the sweet Wynona Ryder.
Wonderful light and clarity, great POV, with the house encircled by naked trees and the curved lane gently leading the eye. It's a bit inclined, but strangely that doesn't do much harm.
Regards, José.
