Do houses have a soul? When we choose to buy a house or just to take a picture of it, we are certainly looking for something special. What can that be?
Popup LinkThe size?
Popup LinkThe architectural style?
Would we like a  Popup Linkterraced house or one located in the Popup Linkcountryside?
Some would prefer to be Popup Linknear the mountains or at least to have some Popup Linkwilderness aroud, while others prefer the  Popup Linktranquility of a lake or of Popup Linka forest.
Some prefer to keep Popup Linktheir neighbours close, while some others hide Popup Linkbehind flowers.
Would Popup Linkthe colour matter or its  Popup Linkcharm and simplicity?

What would you prefer?

  • Thanks for the story. I love the posts where photos are so well integrated into the story. For me, I would prefer the "tranquility of a lake."

  • Gorgeous variety of homes! Nice shooting, great display of international styles. Do houses have a soul? I think they kind of do... retaining some of the spirit of the lives lived within.

  • Thank you for your comments. Well, I am pretty lucky to live in Europe. It's so easy to travel nowadays, you just take a flight and in 2-3 hours you're already in a different country, with different culture, etc.
