Window to the Past

The aspiring artist wanted to find some horses to draw so we drove up the mountain.
He found a friendly and co-operative model and I wandered around taking photos.
We came to the old cottage which I fondly remember visiting when I was younger.
It's abandoned now, becoming more and more derelict with each passing year.
Sad to see it like this when once it was filled with life and laughter.

I love seeing these old houses where nature is even reclaiming the inside. Beautiful image and exposure. V.

Beautiful image Mairead....how sad it has been left to decay especially with all your fond memories of it...BV

So strange to think a house would simply be abandoned, having apparently no value at all. I bet the ghosts are happy to have it to themselves.

With scenes like this, I often wonder of the lives of people that used to live and look out of that window. A well seen picture.

Wonderful moody photo, love the contrast between the sparse, dark interior and the bright riot of vegetation outside, V.

Abandoned homes are always intriguing to me. I like the view, dirty glass and all. V
