Love your photos.

I, too, love abandoned houses and have a huge collection of photos I've taken over the years.

Enjoyed last night's talk by Bryan Sansivero on abandoned houses across America.

A weird looking little creature is gesticulating through an open window at a young woman in medieval dress. A spinning wheel is also present in the cramped stone-built wall.

The goblin Tom Tit Tot makes his presence known in the folk tale which bears his name. An 1892 illustration by Brock.
