I was visiting my friend who was in the Forest Service at Happy Camp, California. Happy Camp is way up north by the Oregon border. I got up early in the morning to stroll around with my camera. I saw this old hotel that looked picturesque with a big old tree in the front. I zoomed in close with my telephoto lens to get a cropped appearance of the hotel and a closeup of the doors and windows. Something was strange in the photograph that gave it a soft feel. this was not intended but well welcomed as it adds to the rustic feel of the photograph.
