Artist's Comments

This pictures a main street in an abandoned village named Esco (Navarre, Spain). It was abandoned in 1959 when an artificially created lake (Embalse de Yesa) permanently flooded people's crops (during a time when there were no other means to make a living). Esco is currently the realm of vermin and wild dogs. We went in to quickly take a couple of photos and get out. The degree of damage to the buildings suggests that they were purposely destroyed after the village was abandoned. Walking in the streets of Esco along the ruins of the village is truly overwhelming, but the story behind it is sad. In fact, the place gave us the creeps and left us somewhat confused.

The image you shot is brilliant, and it does relate to sadness. The story is sad.

Hey friend, it had been a while since you uploaded anything, I was missing your superb work.
This image has a lot going for it, the tone is simply wonderful, the detail is stunning, and the slight upward tilt on the camera makes the buildings seem to loom over and makes the whole image creepier =)
Plus I love the graffitti of El Bandido, it sorta gives the image even more personality.
Well done my friend, thanks for sharing this wonderful image with us. :handshake:
