Is there really a red lawn chair society? Beautiful picture. Love the shadow of branches on the house. It gives an older look to bright white house with bright red chair...Nice contrast.
vz-nostalgia: Of course, there is, Ms. Richa. They get together at midnight at the stone cube building with no windows. They put their red chairs in a circle and perform their ritual, chanting Jocelyn Pook's "Masked Ball" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OsXu_D86IE
I bought a book on American house styles when I was over in DC. I'll have to see if I can identify this one. Love the colours and contrast.
vz-nostalgia: Good luck locating the style, Ian. At the Ansley Park neighbourhood, where I took the photograph, all houses have different styles. Someone smart enough could write a book on the house styles just in this area.
If there is a red lawn chair society (which I don't believe for a moment) then I want to join. I would sit in them wearing my red shoes!

vz-nostalgia: I'll let the word out, Ms. Ingrid, about your burning desire. On other hand, I think you'll be better off establishing The Red Shoes Association. You can even elect yourself to be the president for life.
vz-nostalgia: Yep, Ms. Ingrid already wants to join. She thinks she'll blend well. Good luck.

A well composed pic, taken perhaps on a late summer- or autumn-day, the shadow of branches on the house, the brown leaves-ground and the chairs without any person give a feeling of farewell/being past or being frustrated and loneliness, but the red colour of the chairs in the sun signalizes energy and life and community, and I would propose that some powerful persons in our world should sit down and take a new chance to communicate with each other and they don't resign in order to move anything (for example China and Tibet...)! We need many red chairs for talking!
vz-nostalgia: I'm afraid it will take more then a few red chairs to force China to talk to Tibet, Ms. Philine. Maybe a Red Chairman?
Nicely surreal! Where is Hitchcock's cameo appearance?
vz-nostalgia: He'll appear as a silhouette behind the curtain in the second floor window on 41st minute after you start looking at the photograph, Martin.
love this VZ the house reminds me of Amitville films of a while ago, with the shadows it looks quite creepy
vz-nostalgia: Ha-ha. You're right Tim. And if you stare at this Amityville's Dollhouse long enough, you might hear Lalo Schifrin's haunting music score.
