====== THANKS FOR VISITING AND COMMENTS ! ======
Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
Ahhh...its the ramains of an old building! Well seen and captured!
9 Dec 2008 6:57am
@Linerberry: An old workershouse, I think.
Thanks for the compliment. Bye.
@laur: Thanks. Bye.
Yvonne S. from Tilburg, Netherlands
dan vraag ik me af wat heeft daar gestaan, is het al lang weg, het ziet er nogal verlaten uit! Leuk als je bij een foto wat langer na gaat denken!
9 Dec 2008 10:47am
@Yvonne S.: Waarschijnlijk een Kaatsheuvels arbeiderswoninkje. Had best eens een monumentje kunnen zijn, maar ja. (Dit is een beete het vervolg op de vorige foto). Tot ziens.
Cheryl from Texas, United States
this one makes me wonder about all the history it has seen. nice capture
9 Dec 2008 11:33am
@Cheryl: You're right. I's probably an old workers home, from a much poorer lifetime.
Thank you for visit. Bye.
Alaukika from Pune, India
Such shots can make you believe that even ruins can give you good subject to shoot. One only needs to have an eye to see them. Lovely capture.
9 Dec 2008 12:25pm
@Alaukika: For me there subjects in almost everything. Thanks for comment and visit. Bye.
Paul van der Meer from Valkenswaard, Netherlands
Een foto die prima in je serie past! Een knappe storytelling foto!
9 Dec 2008 3:52pm
@Paul van der Meer: Dank je. (Wat de tulpen betreft: ...frisse kleuren...teer licht...karakter van tulpen..).
@Pradeep: Thank for your comment. See you again.
@yiannis krikis: Thank you. Bye.
@Elena Kotrotsou: Thank you. Bye.
@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Dank je. Tot ziens.
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Gone but in a scenic way. I like the composition and fine colors.
9 Dec 2008 6:16pm
@Michael Skorulski: Thanks for the compliment. Bye.
JJ from Jersey City, United States
WOnderful capture, with places like this I always wonder what is was and when
9 Dec 2008 6:24pm
@JJ: I too. Probably a workers house in poorer times.
Thanks for comment. Bye.
Rags from Plano, United States
I always wonder about the people who once lived in such places. I wonder where there are, what they did, and why did they leave. "Gone" is a perfect summation of the image.
9 Dec 2008 6:33pm
@Rags: Thank for your philosophical thoughts. See you again. Bye.
@Alun Lambert: Thank you. Bye.
@zOOm: It is part of a very old (small?) house.
Thanks for comment and visit. Bye.
Toomaj from Iran
whatever tough and stable, someday will turn into smoke and go by, that is the story forever..
9 Dec 2008 8:38pm
@Toomaj: Philosophic thought! You're quite right.
See you again.
Peter Knoop from Antwerp, Belgium
Zulke plaatsen zien er wat triestig uit. Maar ze zijn wel leuk om te fotograferen! Goed gezien!
9 Dec 2008 8:48pm
@Peter Knoop: Inderdaad, het zijn fijne onderwerpen. Maar je kunt er ook zoveel áchter denken.
Tot ziens.
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
I suppose everything has its time, and this old building has had it come and go, interesting shot
9 Dec 2008 9:02pm
@Richard_Irwin: You're right. But! You never know. Perhaps this could have become a monument of an old living style.
Thanks for your comment. Bye.
Pixim from Nice, France
You propose a photograph to us where the work of time is set up, of course, construction disappears but you kept this green of nature to recall us that continues until the next time ;)
9 Dec 2008 9:12pm
@Pixim: Thanks for your very nice (philosophical) words and reading my purposes.
See you.
@Virgil: Thanks for the compliment. Bye.
Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
I guess everything has its cycle, I hope this structure has served its occupant well. What was here before?
9 Dec 2008 10:29pm
@Howard F.: I don't know for sure, but probably an old workers house from poor times. Bye.
Emilio Garcia from Pleasanton, United States
Beautiful. I like this shot very much. It depicts so well weathering and the passage of time. It is a classic. Have you tried it in B&W?
9 Dec 2008 10:58pm
@Emilio Garcia: Thanks. I did try B&W. It is possible, but found the dark colours more storytelling and giving a little bit more perspective. Bye.
@grant: Thanks for your compliment. Bye.
@akarui: Thanks for comment and visit.
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Does it have any historical or archeological value...?
10 Dec 2008 4:36am
@Observing: Mogelijk vóórdat het ooit afgebroken was, als oude werkmanshuisjes. Tot ziens.
@One: Thank you for compliment and visit. Bye.
@hamidook: Thanks for comment and visit. Bye.
@NADINE DERUYCK: Dank je. Tot ziens.

Very nicely done. I like photos showing the results of the passing of time.
10 Dec 2008 4:32pm
@Michael Rawluk: Me too. Ans also photos showing a typical time record.
Thanks. Bye.
Putter from Belgium
Raar dat er zo'n aantrekkingskracht uitgaat van dingen in verval he? Mooi gedaan in elk geval!
10 Dec 2008 4:42pm
@Putter: Omdat het zo dicht bij het mysterie van leven en dood staat?
Of simpel omdat er vaak van die mooie structuren aanwezig zijn?
Bedankt en tot ziens.
sithenah from Greater Manchester/Cheshire, United Kingdom
I love the mix of contrasting textures
10 Dec 2008 5:06pm

Great shot, with lots of feeling - at least for me.
10 Dec 2008 9:38pm
@Ken McCoy: Thanks for the compliment. Bye.
Marcah from Quincy, United States
This set the imagination wondering what could have bee. Nice work and thanks for your visit.
10 Dec 2008 11:19pm

To say you few about it more on your photograph Roman!
11 Dec 2008 6:50am
@Siam: Thanks for comment and visit.
Marhilde from Geraardsbergen, Belgium
Vraag je je ook af wat er zich jaren geleden afspeelde in dit gebouw ? Goeie titelkeuze.
11 Dec 2008 7:32am
@Marhilde: Daar heeft zich ongetwijfeld een heel ander soort leven afgespeeld.
Volgens zeggen zou dit een oud werkmanshuisje zijn geweest en dan had het wellicht wel een monumentje kunnen geworden zijn.
Tot ziens.
@John: Deep thought. See you.
@Pamela: Thank you, Pamela.
