Gone on holiday!

Gone on holiday!
Seen in the town of Mykonos, on the edge of the sea. Why this should be so obviously unused and locked up is a mystery we will never know. The building, to me was quite fascinating with these shuttered windows and padlocked doors, painted to blend into the whitewashed walls.

Enjoy full size.

The white against the blue sky instantly says "Greece"! The doors and shutters add a warm tone. It's a pity the house stands empty...

The real Greece Gudrun, meaning that many places like this stand empty, unfortunately. As you say the colours on here are good.

Nice to see you again Leopold. I think many people would love to live here. Maybe it is open for some months as holiday accommodation?

Beautifully composed. Though this does look derelict for some reason, it still is a striking image against the blue sky.

Glad you liked it George. Part of a rather large buildings collection from this Island by me and so I am rather pleased that you enjoyed it. The colours suited well with this sky for sure. ~ Herb

Toz, it is my pleasure to share my rather boring life with folk such as you. These holidays make up a large part of my photo output -a little like your own travels do with you too. I also know when I view other peoples photos of far-away places that I am transferred there. Thanks for the feedback my friend. ~ Herb

A lovely clean and detailed shot of this apparently derelict house! It actually goods quite good against the sky and I love the colours of the doors and shutters. I bet the views from the other side are wonderful.

It looks to me as if it could be two apartments - there's a door to the top floor and another to the ground floor, but who knows? It is and will remain a mystery for us and you Herb.

Nice work my friend :-)

Hi Keith, if I remember rightly the other side looked out onto a steepish grass bank overlooking the bay towards the small town, of which this was just at its outer edge, only a few yards form the row of windmills but a million miles from all the tourist! I got to agree with your assessment of the two apartments. As you say a perpetual mystery to us both now.

Cheers, Herb
