ivy house window by ingrid2101

ivy house window

A tiny village called Herston sits way off the main road next to the sea on South Ronaldsay. There is an old house there that is completely covered in ivy and is quite amazing. This is one of the windows

@mariadarby Thank you Maria :)

@spirrowshoot Thank you - I love that you'd want to live in there!

@corgimom Thank you Debbie!
@amyspada Thanks Amy - I love windows as well - the older the better
@chezza Thank you! It was creeping all over the place
@gailmmeek Thank you Gail - I was happy to find it - people around here start telling you about places to go and this was recommended, so pleased about that
@crankstyle Thank you!
February 13th, 2013  
@ingrid2101 How nice that the locals are on the look out for spots for you to photograph! :)
February 13th, 2013  
@aprilmilani Thank you April, it's a different house altogether - there's loads of old places going to ruin. They're very expensive to restore and tend to be very small, it's such a shame but then I wouldn't have got this

@studiombkcom Hahaha - thank you Michael - "window porn" I like it
@dave_rv Thank you Dave :)
@annick You'd have to share! Thank you :)
@cali_jt_photography Thank you Cali !

@gailmmeek Gail - it's probably more that I can bore them rigid talking about photography, It might be to get rid of me!! It's a lovely community though!
February 13th, 2013  
Rik

February 13th, 2013  
Wow- this is a class shot! Beautifully framed with a crystal clear focus. Fav
February 13th, 2013  
@ingrid2101 :) made me giggle at the thought
February 13th, 2013  
@gailmmeek It's the glazed eyes that give it away ;)
February 13th, 2013  
This is just beautiful - magical - enchanted - I absolutely love the ivy growing on the inside as well as out!!!
February 13th, 2013

@sheilag I 'd love to photograph that place too but as I pass it 4 times a day I always think another time!
@chewyteeth Thank you Dave :)

I think Hansel and Gretel when i see this!
February 14th, 2013  
I really like this window, it looks like it there should be a secret garden hiding on the other side.

Nature takes over. Great shot.

Well deserved pp! Fantastic.
February 16th, 2013  
Very beautiful, love the light from the back window. Do you develop the film yourself? I did a roll of film recently but found the it rather expensive to get it developed. Norway gone digital so no inexpensive 1 hour photo places left, only specialized stores.
February 17th, 2013  
@primitiveprobe Thank you- I haven't tried colour at home yet but I have bought a C41 kit and it's sitting there waiting! We have a chemist here that develops and prints for about £8 so it's not too expensive yet!
