Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'The Find' (Part #200)

In a manner of a true explorer, I carefully try the left side door of the left wing of this once beautiful mansion. They unwillingly open with an ambiguous sounding squeak. The rundown dark corridor appears in front of me. I reluctantly step in, checking out my six. All clear. I hear no sounds. The darkness works hard to take the better of my good thoughts.

Luckily, it seems that there is not a soul amidst this filth. A few steps further, I push another door. My feelings are mixed. The sadness of seeing a large historical mansion left in this appaling state is rivalled by the thrill of trespassing for investigative purposes. Someone might easily be here and start asking questions. However, dressed up in a full winter riding gear, I do look twice my non-neglectable size. I mean, I am not @exyle sized but not a small guy, either. :-)

It seems that at nights, some homeless person sleeps on the hard floor in one of the rooms. A mattress is made of cardboard and pillows are made of garbage bags and stuffed with who knows what. Whoever the owner of the mansion is, it was thoughtful of him to leave the doors open so that the poor fellow can at least spend the night inside. At least some good, since there is no willpower to renovate the place. The winter is here. Not a cold one, but still winter.

People coming to Europe, in search of better life, often do not understand that Europe is not only Germany where people organized their lives and the environment in such a manner that everyone can benefit from the society's system financed by strong industry and exports. Europe is also a bunch of countries where people couldn't give a dime for another nor do they care much about for how things work or don't work, while enjoy choking on their own selfishness at the same time. But, Germany cannot take in and relief sadness and sorrow of the entire world. And, that's a fact.

This something, appearing to be a huge rug, hanging down is the greatest find of my expedition. It is, at least 30 years old, cobweb. Could even be older, actually. :-) Unless we count in the fake ones frequently used in the movies, I believe most of you have never seen this. Including myself. So, I proudly name this the cobweb of the century!

Enjoy your day! :-)

Nice pictures @velimer, its seems the house is not in use and free from a few years..

The walls are showing some sketches, most probably sketched by kids, windows are broken, doors are open, characters show that there was life a few years ago, people used to live there.

When i was in school, one day my teacher asked a question;

What is the difference between a house and a home?

Some replied, some were confused, so he replied that the house is just a concrete building. While home is made by the people living inside, they decorate it, make is worth living, celebrate their happy moment, sharing their memories, something that belongs to someone and a lot of other things.

He explained further that when you say, “Let’s go home,” you are probably not talking simply about going to the physical structure where you live. You are talking about being in the special place where you feel most comfortable and that belongs to you.

It is well said by Don McCullin that “Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”

Dear @velimer these are not just clicks, that you passed by road and captured, the message behind these pictures is clear that what happens when there is no life.

Nice work and would love to see more pictures from your side, keep it up bro.

I congratulate you on the jubilee figure :) I am sure that this is not the limit
I see these photos as some interpretation. You wrote about Europe and I will compare this and the previous post.
This old mansion on the outside looks beautiful, but it requires work and attention - Europe looks like this, it is not perfect - but desirable for many people from poor countries.
But what we see inside, inside everything is pretty bad and not perfect. Inside, the whole essence is visible and in what state it is. - it's like being inside Europe, but being in the depths of Europe, in the suburbs and little-known cities, where everything is still not perfect.
Your thoughts, as always, bear a deep meaning and everyone can interpret them in their own meaning. I hope my interpretation was a success :)
