The Long Weekend / Il Fine Settimana Lungo #spookysaturday episode 3

You don't remember entering the raffle but the kind old woman, Gwendolyn, on the phone assured you you had. How else would she have your details? You had been hesitant at first but she explained everything to you - the history of the island and its castle - all off-grid except for one ancient landline in the kitchen. How it was used by her family as private hunting grounds, the transportation there by ferry and bringing supplies for the weekend, - by the end it was like talking to an old friend and you just couldn't say no.
The crossing there was interesting. Was it seasickness or was the uneasy feeling coming from the ferryman? He wouldn't look you in the eye and spent all his time muttering under his breath, ignoring you. Was he praying? "Bring another one"? Huh?
At least the castle was comfortable. Exploring the island, finally having some peace and quiet after all these hard months was much needed.
Sunday evening, the landline rings.
"I'm sorry dear but the ferry isn't coming for a while"
You inquire if that means a few hours or tomorrow.
"... I'm sorry dear but the ferry isn't coming."
You are confused.
"We still use it as hunting grounds, you know."
The line goes dead.

Boo! It's Halloween time! That one is really spooky! #halloween #spooky #spookyvibes #spookymood

I know photography is about capturing light. There isn't much here, but that was the point. Spookiness comes out of the darkness™. #spooky #spookyvibes #spookymood #blackandwhite #dark #darkness

In 2020 we rented a country house, and in the forest nearby, there was this abandoned cabined. It was really a spooky place. #spooky #spookyvibes #spookymood #darkness #dark #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #abandoned #abandonedbuilding

Fall often feels like this for me, when it's rainy, windy and cold. Like right now. #cemetery #blackandwhite #spooky #spookyvibes #spookymood

Photography of cemeteries is not always easy as they can be very crowded. This one, I'm proud of it. During a beautiful sunset, monuments and crosses create a sculpted horizon line. #cemetery #cemeteries #monuments #spooky #spookyvibes

Exploring the corridors of an abandoned boy school. Imagine what it was like with all the students walking around, going to their classes. #urbex #urbexphotography #urbexworld #urbexexplorer #abandoned #abandonedbuilding #abandonedplaces #spookyvibes #spooky

This picture was taken during a small week-end trip in spring of 2022, during COVID-19. At that time, we all felt, in one way or another, doomed. This is what this scene inspired me anyway. #spooky #spookyvibes #blackandwhite

Let's go back in time, in 2018 to be precise, during a trip to Iceland, in a thermal spring, during a cloudy and rainy day. This little boy standing there is my youngest child, now 20. #blackandwhite #foggy #iceland #exploreiceland #spook #spookyvibes
