An old haunting colorized photograph of l'ancien cottage on a hill in the pyrenees foothills, as seen from a safe distance from the woods. The historical documentary photograph was expertly composed. The house windows are warmly lit and a faint smoke is seen rising from the chimney. It seems isolated and hard to access, centered and far away. A pastoral scene in the foreground is broken up through the ascending landscape by trees. A siren shepherdess woman is seen in the distance from behind, her hair and petticoat blow in the wind showing more leg than was appropriate at the time. There is a dangerous and wild vibe to the picture. Shadows are long and eerie at twilight, but the long exposure enhances the incredible beauty of the scene. -ad, -modern
