Description

Okay, this time in sepia You won't believe it, but I love such oooooooooold houses. They seems to me like last living fragments of very old time... When you stand close up to them you can feel and smell the middle age. For example, I don't like the renovated one in the background. Thank you for the great, helpful and funny comments for may last pic (Open house or SCH

Ratten fger von Hammlin, comes to mind. Sorry for any mis-spelling in German, it has been too long ago. Also, if my memory serves me correct, this is in Northern Germany since the architecture, the dark beams represent secrete rune symbols. Schleswig-Holstein area? Enough about geography. I love this image since old structures have a charm and beauty about themselves we artist adore. Sehr gute gemacht und ich wde mich fren noch mehr solche aufnahmen diesen Stiel zu sehen von Ihnen. Another comment is that the decision to duo-tone the print is one that enhances the pictures charm and a correct decision since B&W would not have served it well.

Super Texturen auf dem alten Haus, geflt mir auch besser als das renovierte, aber es zeigt auch die Gegensze sch auf, finde dass es deshalb noch gut hier reinpasst

Hi Mik! Klasse Foto und ein heftiger Kontrast. Nicht nur zu den neueren Hsern im Hintergrund sondern durch die unterschiedlichen Helligkeitsstufen. Allerdings vermute ich fast das dies eine fabelhafte Bildmontage ist ;-))) In Wirklichkeit ist es ein Haus aus Deinem Viertel. Sorry, only a joke!!!! Ist scho fabelprhtig das pic. bye

bin auch immer begeistert wenn ich vor solch alter Pracht stehe! aber wohnen will man nicht gerade drin! und wenn's wirklich so weitergeht mit unserem sozialen Abstieg, werden wir, die Hartz IV Empfger, froh sein dort leben zu dfen statt auf der Strasse! fantastischer und beeindruckender schu ;o)

I just love the textures and atmosphere that this shot creates, the house in the foreground is a great contrast to the one behind it !

when I am working(very little lately) I work painting homes in an affluent area for wealthy only, and believe it or not I have came across homes in this condition. the property is worth 500,000 to 1,000,000 (American)and a dump house. and they want miracles and are too cheap to pay for the repairs. excellent capture and what could be a beautful home. we call this style tutor-V
