I was exploring during the week and came across this cottage with no doors, no windows and half the roof missing. Curiosity got the better of me so I had a look inside.
I found this beauty sitting all alone. It’s sad really to think of the tunes it must have played and the people who would have listened to it.
Now the keys are left untouched, unloved and unwanted.

Did you see the movie Oslo? This reminds me in particular of the final scene of the film.
I didn’t see Oslo.
This is just too appropriate to miss –
Excellent find, Grandad! Kinda synchronistic, too.
Very good.
What an interesting find. It needs a good story to bring it back to life 🙂
It does, it would be lovely to see it restored.
Such a beautiful hamonium that must’ve been in its younger life. This is a beautiful but sad, melancholy post accompanied by melancholic but beautiful photos of a time and place left on its own, unloved. I’d love to live in a place like this. In fact, there’s an old abandoned house in similar condition round our way, and my hubby and I have gone into it and remarked to one another that all it needs is love and some TLC put into it, and the original energy that surely must’ve been there will return.
Thanks for this, Val. I’m very moved by it. Old abandoned houses and ruins, as well as untended old cemeteries (there’s one in Ballyara that I’ve been to) have that effect on me. We all need love…old abandoned cottages do, too.
I’ve been to Ballyara cemetery June and the schoolhouse near it. I’m also very moved but these forgotten places and things.
This both speaks to me, and haunts me. What a terrific set here, Val, you’ve done a great job of capturing what is surely it’s last moments. Absolutely profound and wonderful.
Thank you 🙂 I love negleted things but I always feel sad as well about them
What a find this is.
You have captured so much character here.
Beautifully done.
Thanks Lisa 🙂
Enchanting Val, there is a poem here …I can feel it…
I’ll look forward to it 🙂
Gorgeous photos as always Val. I love old piano’s. Do you mind me asking where abouts is this I’d love to do a shoot there 😊
