Do not Disturb - a photo on Flickriver

Do not Disturb

            The castle was built in 1866 and the demolition work began in 2016. But because a bat colony is located in the building, the demolition could be stopped in court. Unfortunately, the proceedings were lifted a few months later and the demolition work was finally carried out in end 2017.
(When I made this picture with the light stencil and only one year later the demolition work was stopped because of the bats was pure coincidence)

This adventure is now 2 years back, but is still ubiquitous for me. When I got to see the first pictures of this property a few years ago, I was immediately enthusiastic and devoured all the information I could find. I really wanted to go there. It should take a few more months until everything fits. Then it was time, the weather was reported cloudless and the moon was high in the sky.

There is always something special to come to a place I knew until now only from pictures, so like here. The atmosphere in this place was, as I had always imagined, very dense and somewhat ghostly. But I was a bit shocked by the amount of garbage the visitors had left on the whole property, a problem that I often encounter when traveling in nature.

Photographed in a single exposure with the Samyang 10mm f2.8, a light stencil with bat and flashlight.
