The castle with the hanging doors

ivar

I had a very special friend visit me a few weeks ago and as if that wasn't enough, we had some great times shooting several locations, including a castle.
C&C always appreciated.

Behind lots of trees and plants, her beauty was hidden:










Humans have not lived in this castle for about 2 decades. During that time the wind, moisture and temperature have been taking their toll on her, unfortunately.
Once a beautiful, majestic castle, most of her color has faded and is continuing to fade until there will be no more, most likely. It was quite sad to see.

So cool and I love how they came out. :ivarThe first is just incredible, totally full of great textures and soft glowing light.

And the last, man who doesn't love a bit of snoi in the summer?
