Eternity Blues Photo

Photographer’s Note

This picture is taken at Rekekroken, Jonstorp. This is a very prosperous village, houses here are very expensive. But this house didn´t seem all that well. I got the feeling it was some kind of common house belonging to some village association or something.

It was covered with Eternit panels, something you would use to avoid a lot of maintenance on your house. These panels were supposed to last an eternity! But look at this! The blue colour is also quite unusual here.

Hej Gunnar,
The blue colour is very vivid. I do not know why but I like this photo. It has a simple object but is charming in its own way. The composition is well balanced with the flower pot on the left and the tree branches on the right. Good clarity and sharpness. TFS

hej Gunnar,
between nothing less and eternity was an exceptional record with the Jazz rock band of mahavishnu orchestra, but this is more a rich mans´s blues,
But I do have a certain feeling for those old eternit houses, in fact, in many years it really was my dream house laying somewhere hwere the bus seldoms stops and the neighbors are closer to death than a mayfly.

Hi dear Gunnar,
Very nice capture, with wonderfull colors and good pov.
Maybe, you should crop half of the eternit panel ceiling. But still perfect graphical effect.
TFS and best regards

Hello Gunnar,
Very nice tonal contrasts with good graphical lines. I like how you have expertly captured the textures in the woodwork. The little pot of plants is a nice addition.

Hej,
In spite of the ugly Eternit panels and the ugly roof, this building has a strange appeal, or maybe it's just your composition. A very neat picture, and whoever is in charge of this house had the good taste to find matching colours.
