I had my eyes on this beautiful manor for years as it was always inhabited by squatters and anti-squatters (cheap renting). Luck was on my side when I drove by and noticed that it was looking very empty, though there were stickers on every window saying 'this house is inhabited by blah blah..'. I didn't know for sure if the residents were gone so the first steps into the house were all ninja-esque but it soon became obvious that it was empty and renovation has begun. Buildings just don't get the time to properly rot here in Holland

The interior is mostly stripped and there isn't much to see anymore but I really love the exterior and garden. I returned on a sunny day to do some infrared photography too, which I think turned out quite nicely. I'll dedicate this post to the infrareds, the interior and some background info can be found at: http://www.basdemos.com/villa-vickie/

Nice shots…place looks amazing. Very disney-haunted-mansion-esq

Along with a love for B&W photography, i have a deep admiration for infrared... looks so Dreamy, Light and Airy. These are lovely pics sirpsychosexy. The fireplaces on the inside are awesome as well.

Nice infrared work!

I agree.

Thanks! I'm always having a hard time to get it right, somehow they never come out as sharp and clear as I see in other people's infrareds. I guess you really do need a modded camera for it.
