Thanks Hans. All the tourists go have their evening meals…..although there was still one busload and a few britz vans full hanging around, they spread out a bit though, so I was able to snap between them.

Mel Brackstone, about 1 year ago

Halcyon007, about 1 year ago

Lovely lovely shot Mel. (Although it took 2 minutes to scroll to the bottom after the comments! lol).

Every time I look at it I find something new to look at.

Paul Elward, about 1 year ago

Gee I thought your other shot of the same church was great. This is even better.
I love the light coming through the windows.

Jef Harris, 12 months ago

What I find most amazing about this shot, and other such pictures of lonely houses with over the top Hollywood romantic lighting is how powerful they can be to the imagination. Just looking at this picture hanging on my wall would give me hours and hours of creating stories of what happened in this house. From potato famine Ireland to turn of the century middle America and even the cliche 70s horror movies. This picture just gives and give!
Great job!

Mel Brackstone, 12 months ago

Thanks Stuart, Paul and Jef! I appreciate your comments!

Ashlee Arnold, 11 months ago

Dramatic and special.

Joseph Klatka, 11 months ago

.............................................................................i am speechless.

Vonney, 11 months ago

Love the long shadows of sunset to the left of the church as well
as the light the setting sun creates in the windows. Agree with
Jef Harris, ’ this picture just gives and gives.’ Stories beg to be
told here. Keep up the good work!

Allan Gowen, 11 months ago

Another one I simply had to buy. It looks like i’m building a nice Mel B postcard collection lol :-)

Mel Brackstone, 11 months ago

Thank you, Allan, much appreciated!

Rhana Griffin, 11 months ago
