Spooky. I bet it looked pastoral in color. Good choice.
That’s between St. Sat and Villars. It’s wonderful. I would instantly buy it. If I could.
And yes, you are absolutely right. Interesting what b/w can do, ;-)
Nice image. Really nice….
The house reminds me of an old, faded but beautiful Italian villa that figures in one of my favorite films, Bertolucci’s ‘The Spider’s Stratagem’ (originally adapted from a short story by the master, Borges). The confused protagonist pays a visit to a forgotten but still elegant villa which seems haunted by the past….so much so that he almost loses track of whether he is still in ‘the present’ or not.
Your picture really makes me want to go to this villa. Badly.
Exactly – this is like one of the houses that sometimes appear in one’s dreams, isn’t it?
Yes. It is.
Autobiographical confession: I grew up in a house (and surrounding garden) that looked not a little unlike this one….
And I still dream of going back to it.
Ah, the one with the stone heads … that’s a dream.
