BEHIND DOORS



We found a box full of keys at my grandfathers place years ago. No idea where they all belong to, but they are all so beautiful. Thinking of the fact that every single one have got a different shape and different skill is totally exciting. Each one belongs to one specific door, perhaps a normal cupboard door, but it's also possible that it can open secret places! I'm sure there are doors which cannot be opend anymore because the fitting keys are lost, maybe I have got one of these keys now :)

FORGOTTEN PLACES

I love to explore hidden places and I'm sure there are so many forgotten rooms everywhere around us. Like this old swimmingpool, which you can find downstairs in a pretty normal office building. Over the years less and less people came down for a swim and soon nobody thought of it anymore, it disappeared behind doors and walls.



Old rooms and sometimes whole houses no one is using anymore are so interesting - they can tell so many storys from the past. To discover these places means so much fun to me - sometimes just emptyness and sometimes full with signs from the past - furnitures, pictures on the walls ...

One day I met a guy who told me a story about a friend who climed into an old abandoned hotel standing next to a waterfall in Austria. Because of entrapped moisture it was forced to close down - all the people went out of the building and left behind every single thing which was standing or laying around. It must have been like a time travel for this guy to get into these halls. Anyway - he was able to catch some really nice design-chairs and tables. Back home he refurbished them and was able to sell them for a lot of money. Nice story. :)
