Everyday life in the North Cape & North of Norway
I feel sad for this pic. It looks like a broken person. Good work!
A agree. The photos are sad, and I think they reflect the feelings of some of the children who lived in the boarding school. Some of them must have felt abandoned, as they had to move away from their families when they were as young as 7 years old. But I also think the photos show a will to survive, as the curtains “cling” to the window frame.
I absolutely love windows, and these are exceptionally good!
Thank you Alex. I also love windows. I can’t even count how many photos I’ve taken of them. I think of all the stories they hold within them.
These windows are great, but I love the curtains. 🙂
I’m also intrigued by the curtains, that have managed to cling to the window frame in the midst of harsh storms and tough winters.
I love portals of all kinds – these windows are great! You have captured color, texture, line – these cracks could tell some intriguing stories if they could talk…
I agree. I love taking photos of windows. They hold so many untold stories. I think these windows hold a lot of heart ache. Children had to move away from their families when they were 7 years old to attend school. My mother’s heart just breaks when I think about it.
Taking children away from their families to put them into residential schools sounds so similar to the stories of Canadian Aboriginals – so much heartache and sad memories… it shaped generations – and not in a good way!
Pretty light and I love how the curtains wraps around the window frames.
Have a nice start to the week.
Thank you, “All is well” 🙂 I like that as well. I think it’s fascinating that they’ve managed to hold through storms and harsh winters.
Those are great! Do you mind your pictures being pinned on Pinterest? I’d like to pin them, but I shan’t if you don’t want me to.
Thank you and no, I don’t mind. It’s nice to hear that you want to share the pictures with other people. That’s the best compliment one can receive 🙂
Thanks, I put them on my ‘abandoned’ board http://pinterest.com/cinnamonpebble/abandoned/ although I could also have put them on Windows, doors etc, or Scandophilia! 🙂
I can almost see a little face peering out of each window. Beautiful light and colors.
Thank you. You’ll get to see it the building when you come to visit 🙂
love the atmosphere of abandoned buildings. and these windows and walls have seen so many people come and go….
I’m a huge fan of abandoned buildings, and there are a lot of them on this island. They hold so many untold stories!
