Swen, when I first saw this..I thought ..what fantastic furniture and it looks almost new...please send it to us..in the USA..we are broke! No kidding they are closing two schools here in my area for lack of money. The ceiling here is amazing..it looks like heavy rains almost brought it down! Love the sharpness here in all those little pieces. Phyllis
Sven Fennema  Thanks so much Phyllis! That was something catching me, so good and elegant furniture are not typical for universities here neither, and it was that paradox contrast - those good state furnitures but full of decay at the other side.
Here in germany the state of schools is also not good, but obviously it's worse at yours, very sad as it's so important for the society!

we do need no education, they said and left.
it is funny?, but i will say it again, how do i still feel the presence of human(s) on your photo, even if they are (no longer) there.
you are the best!
Sven Fennema  Thank you so much barbara, this means a lot to me! I know that it's always a difficulty as many can only just see "some old room" in such motifs and it always makes me so happy to see when my pictures work as I intended!

Often I think about why I spend those hours on driving and research, but finally as soon as you stand in such a place you know for what you're doing this :)

Sven Fennema  This is the big auditorium of an old abandoned college! It's much of research and really a lot of kilometers of driving, up to 1000 one day :)
