Description

found today, when I went with my brother fetching his two twin girls from school... right next to the school there is this old building as a part of a set of old buildings part of them a home for elderly people another part one of the pilgrims hostels on the Way of St. James to Santiago di Compostella in Spain... I am always fascinated by this old houses, cause they have a story to tell and so I postworked the shot to get the right feeling. Thanks for viewing!

Beautiful. I'd love to get a model of that place. I'm also glad to see so many comments about the character in old architecture and the way it blends with the land. The use of B&W gets the imagination going. I have to wonder how it looks with leaves changing color and the color of the roof, trim, etc. Thanks for sharing it.
