I love the one of the little boys playing in the big shadow. And the vines – wow – they almost seem to be symbiotic with the walls!

Sometimes pictures speak better for themselves than trying to use words to describe impressions or experiences. I love that you decided to share them in black and white.

Thanks Jolandi 🙂 I thought that B&W fitted them better and I think it does a pretty good job, doesn’t it?

Black and white, in this Instagram era, is underrated. It gives a whole different mood that cuts to the essentials. Nicely done.

Love the more monochrome on these. They add an extra dimension of mystery to the place. And I totally get the feeling of letting images do the speaking and keeping words to a minimum. Well done, sir.
