Description
Spotted at Great Camp Sagamore in Raquette Lake, NY. The camp is arranged in two complexes a half-mile apart, the Upper, or worker's complex, and the Lower, or guest complex. The guests would not have frequented the worker's complex, as the buildings at the Upper complex are much more utilitarian than those in the Guest complex, and without the embellishment of the buildings designed for entertaining. Sagamore served as a sylvan setting in which the richest families in America could relax, party, and get a feeling of returning to nature. All of this, however, was accomplished without leaving the comforts of civilization behind.Related content

Very cool photograph, I love finding beauty in the ordinary things, especially things that are old. It's just a latch but with the black and white you've managed to capture it nicely and in a way that makes you feel more than you're looking at just some simple boring latch.
The angle is good and the depth, I can't think of much to say as far as constructive criticism goes, it's really well done. I might have pulled the image a bit more to the right so that the left edge is more directly on the wood instead of showing that crack, but that's so minor it's almost not worth mentioning.
Very nice! Cheers!
