The Laing Homestead

This has been on my "list" for some time now. I have seen many images of the "Laing Homestead" and I just had to capture some for myself. I planed to shoot this on the way back from Calgary AB. with Bart "tagging" along. Bobby Scott gave us some great directions thanks Bobby. Bobby say's that Rose Paynter-Laing grew up in this house and is now about to turn 92 years old and blind. So watch me has I explore this home and see it through my eyes and lens enjoy .

Thank you so much for these. This home was purchased in the early 1900's by my Great-Great-Grandfather, and grandmother, Thomas Balmer Laing, and Rose Paynter Laing. She died at the age of forty-four, of dyptheria, but her daughter Mollie did have diabetes and she went blind. She passed away at a very ripe old age. Rose Paynter Laing was the first woman to travel the Rockies alone, on horseback. So thankyou, very much for putting these pictures up. Its where my family came from.

Definitely what I call abandoned and desolate. Excellent and interesting set of images Mike. ~V~

I see you got the logo to work on this great gallery Mike.
You had perfect weather, IMO, to shoot this place. BZ-V!

I loved "tagging" along Mike. I have an even greater admiration for your work now.
