One of my favorite subjects as well, if only these old walls could talk. I like the natural colors and the pov. Very nice! TFS

Hej Anders,
Already from the the thumbprint I could recognize the typical "Molla" colours. Looking closer I can see the melancholy mood too. I get a feeling of a "Kerstin Ekman" atmosphere too here. A very attractive picture. I like your composition with the low POV and the path leading up to the house.

Hej Anders,
Indeed, if only the house could tell about its past times. I like your POV and composition and the beautiful summer colours. I agree with Gunnar on the melancholy atmosphere, which your photo is transmitting. Simple but beautiful!
Hälsningar,

Hej Anders,
This is even better than the last one. More colours and a tree in the foreground. Also this house must have been more magnificent in thr old days. There are so many stories that could be imagined in a place like this. If those walls could speak...;-)
(What a cliché).
Well done,
Gert

Hej Anders,

The point of view looking up makes the house even more impressive, but anyway this was a more impressive residence back then!
A well framed view with inclusion of the beautiful birch, and some wild flowers in the green field make the romantic mood complete...
A balanced composition in molla colours!

Greetings,

Hi Anders.
Yes, your favourite topic, and you do them so well. Your shots of these old houses, abandoned, lonely or just isolated, often have a melancholy atmosphere, a slightly under-exposed look with low contrast, which really gives them the right atmosphere. Those colours of yellow and blue must have looked bright once. I like the small white flowers, as well as the inclusion of the tree in the photo to balance the position of the house. I agree entirely with Gunnar's comment about Kirstin Ekman, that's EXACTLY what this photo reminds me of.
Regards,
Andrew
