Lovely series for tones, Wilfredo.
I totally understand you.

The last is my favourite.

Thank you Michele and Ruben. Puerto Rico is beautiful, colorful and green but even in the midst of that beauty there is hidden mystery in forgotten things. One of these houses holds a particular happy memory for me, but now it remains empty. Only fading whispers from the past remain in these forgotten homes. Nothing is permanent...

Lovely series, I really am envious of the processing which is excellent. Wonderful sharpness and tones which really bring out the character in the subjects.

Thank you all for checking in. I'm glad this "not so pretty" series is being enjoyed. Some images are meant to be enigmatic.
