The Old Man Who Made Withered Trees to Blossom
Lens: 18-55 mm Camera: Pentax K-r 



This picture untitled "The Old Man Who Made Withered Trees to Blossom" is my proposition to the contest pool.
It was taken in the ghost city of Doel in Belgium in March 2013, i used a Pentax K-r with the original 18-55mm lens .
This image looks like a multiple exposure shot but is not .
It was taken through the window of an abandoned house that has a view on the street and an extended landscape.

The atmosphere of this city is incredible, most of the houses are abandoned, the place is to be destroyed and replaced by a large industrial complex, few inhabitants are left and resisting the project . It became, a open air temple for street art and urban exploration.
The title is inspired by a Japanese fairy tale that for me suits the situation of the inhabitants of Doel, it translates also this magical and haunting feeling I experienced walking down its streets.
