  1. There is something I find very haunting about old mines and abandoned factories etc.I do not know what it is about them that always makes me feel sad.Your photo though very good,makes me feel this sadness.

  3. Hi Matron.
    I feel the same sadness. I think it is because we now understand the long hours and hardship the workers endured just to feed the family.
    Hope you are keeping well over in Ireland.

  5. Yes they are fasinating ..dotted all over the county ..abandoned when it was no longer viable to mine the Tin. They now stand as a legacy of our ancient past.
    Hope you are keeping well in Poland?

  7. You can almost sense that you were not alone while taking this picture. Beautiful composition, yet there is a lonely sadness to this place. I love your other pictures as well, I could get lost within the images and the imagination they inspire.
