Judith A. Gosz
Hard to believe that this is a photo of a real place.. . You’ve caught a wonderfully evocative mood . . . The architecture is wonderful. . .Love the moss and creeping vines . . It must have been a wonderful place for a Gamekeeper to live . . . he could see the whole valley from his breakfast table. . .which I suppose is the whole point.
Dave Warren replied
Thank you very much for your comment, it was a beautiful place, and still could be in the right hands!! i would love to restore it and live there my self, i absolutely love the place, if you look through my images you will see the front of the place, it is called Thornseat Lodge

I love the atmospherics of this – brings to mind the Bloomsbury group: Vanessa Bell, Virginia Woolfe etc. and their lives past, but also an opportunity lost. What a painterly experience to resurrect this place as a canvas.
