I just wanted to let you know that I am on a course next week, in which we have been asked to bring along a photo which we find exceptionally good, and which tells a story. As soon as I got the assignment I thought of you, and then it was just a short step to remembering this photo, which has stayed with me since you first posted it on your blog. A really memorable shot – like so many of yours. I’m missing your regular posts by the way.
Oh wow, didnt see your comment before, but that´s so flattering, Margaret, thanks so much!
Very interested to hear what they have to say at your course?
What kind of course is it exactly, photography in general or more specified?
Sorry I´m so slow, at the moment building a website and getting little more social, but also trying to blog a little more, second half of last year was full of travel, which was great and kept me away from my laptop 😉
Hope you´ll do well and like I said interested to hear how it went!
Greetings from Malaysia,

It was a course put on for volunteer bloggers at the National Trust. Mainly about writing for the web, but some photography input too. I learnt a lot, but your photography reveals the course would have had nothing to teach you! Looking forward to more of your posts, and hearing about your website as it unfolds. Greetings from chilly Yorkshire.
Magically haunting scene! You want to be poetic and surrealist? Be hardcore realist. Realist of the decline and the decay. You use the realism of the decay for poetic purposes so inspirationally!
Wow, thats very well said! Finding the poetry in the realism of everyday decay; guess that describes a lot of my ventures!
Thanks so much for your encouraging enthousiasm!
Warm greetings from Malaysia, Ron.
Thanks, Margaret. And most of the times its definitely an issue to get rid of those powerlines, but the further away from humanity they do dissappear 😉
excellent stuff.
I bet you had fun and games getting the framing right for your ‘vision’.
Perhaps the TV was always busted, but the owner preferred to look at the view through the absent screen…. (probably not). I’m surprised the place is abandoned with a view like that.
Thanks, Stephen! Same feeling here; hoping that it was always just a artsy joke and the condition of this relatively modern house and its view made me wonder why it was abandoned too. But still a great place for photography and indeed tried some ‘visions’ before finding the one(s) I like.

This one instils a sense of intrigue – great image.
David.
Thanks, David! The place did raise more questions than answers once I went inside…
Even better than the real thing… Good job!
Definitely is, thanks, Max!
don’t touch that dial
LOL, would never do that.
Wonderful.
Muchas gracias, Paola!
Yes you´re right, very creative!!! Nice picture.
Thank you, Gustavo!
Great shot, love the light. Did you manage to do it with one exposure?
Thank you and yeah did it with one exposure; just middling the light which was relatively soft to start with…
Great shot. But I see that in Spain, as in France, no view, however wild and savage, is complete without the obligatory powerline bisecting the sky
Thanks, Margaret. And most of the times its definitely an issue to get rid of those powerlines, but the further away from humanity they do dissappear 😉
I think the cat has been scratching the couch.
Could be, but with the doors being open and still some bears in those mountains, could be anything 😉
OMG. Bears !!!! Run !!!!
very cool shot and great light!
Thanks a lot, Peter, i really appreciate you taking time out to comment about it! Greetings, Ron
my pleasure! 🙂
Helluva good view !!!
Thanks, Derrick!
What a fantastic shot! It looks like an art installation.
Thank you, Luddy, still not sure if someone put it like this or it was how it was decorated when people still lived there…
Impressive place !!
Sure was, Mathias, very cool to find a place like this as my first view of the Picos de Europa in such a weird abandoned house!
Re-framing the view?
Yep, maybe the whole view (which was really wide) was just too much 🙂
excellent stuff.
I bet you had fun and games getting the framing right for your ‘vision’.

My sentiments exactly, why a TV? 🙂
I hope it was always just a piece of art and never for real tv-watching 🙂
Good one!
Thanks, Eldin!
“NO MORE TV” is good on all fronts. 🙂 Fun abandonment shot.
Thank you, Terry, was definitely nice find, will leave the show tomorrow with last shot of that living room 😉
What a place to put your television. Mindboggling!
Gracias, amigo, hopefully it was difficult to follow whatever was on!
