This abandoned croft or cottage is said to have been the home of the executioner and his family a long time ago. Perhaps that is why nobody has baught it for a summerhouse. There is a bad feel to it when you stand there looking at it. I did love the mosses on the roof though.

All comments are most welcome. I thank you in advance for taking the time. Always greatly appreciated!

I don't think I'd want to get too close or venture in side. I do like the moss covered roof as well as the detail of the cottage. Excellent capture, Susanne.

The fancy home of a modern mafia boss will not stay empty even after he is gone :) I like that roof but still it seems a rather lonely place to live in. Nice shot.

It might be abandoned, and forgotten, but your capture brings out the peaceful surroundings of it so well. Tigs♥ =^..^=

A beautiful and peaceful scene and capture. It's too bad no one has given it any tender loving care, that would be a wonderful cabin being surrounded by nature

What an eerie thought, Susanne.
I can feel a song in there somewhere. I might try and write it.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Great shot by the way.

You might think me strange, but when I viewed this full screen I swear I saw something in the window and then disappear! Gave me the creeps!!! I wouldn't buy this place either...lol...But it is a cool roof and your capture superb Susanne!!!

Guess he had to live somewhere. Fascinating looking place. I like the look of the mosses too. They're not afraid to live there.

Now the home is being executed , but what's the fault of the executor ? it was his duty in the world fully ruled by human only ,we the people fix service for one, we the people grant punishment for those people who knowingly or unknowingly conduct crimes ........ Bijan

Great capture Susanne. After careful examination of those windows this is about as close as I want to get.

Plant a few flower beds and clean the place up a bit and it will be sold within a week. A good capture of the old croft Susanne. I like the layer of moss growing on the roof. It adds some character to the building.

Hi Susanne! How is my friend doing? I've recently started coming back to Caedes. I lost interest for a while but am back at photography and editing photos.
This photo of the cottage is beautiful! I could see myself living there, out in nature. Looks like that stud on the right side of the cottage is holding up that end of the house. Most houses can be remodeled and improved upon. If not just tear it down and rebuild using the same blue print. Would be nice to buy it and make a large garden outside or greenhouse. It could be cleansed in a white occult way, if there was really an executioner living there. That would make a nice project. Research back into the history of the house.
Your photo is perfect! Thank you for sharing it with us and have a Happy Tuesday!! Allen
