I'm so glad to see more of these kinds of images.
The decay, the textures, lighting, disarray and the possible stories all work so well. Great job with the processing as well. This is a real winner in my book.
I'm assuming HDR. If so, note to others striving for the more realistic use of HDR, This is it.

All the best,
Endre
It's falling apart Endre. A crime in my opinion. It is an old house with unique construction. 3 stories with stone masonry walls all the way up. The only wood framing is in the floors, roof and interior walls. It is on an old farm with several other buildings that are in as bad or worse condition. I haven't finished documenting the whole property yet.
What I find most amazing in this image is the heavy stove on the right hasn't fallen down yet. A testament to great masonry work.

You assume correctly Scott. Images merged in CS3. All other treatments also CS3 except for a touch of Topaz adjust.
Thanks for all your comments, including Phil and Dan.
This is almost what my kitchen looked like a few months ago! The floor was intact but everything else was gutted - I live in an old farm house. This brings back memories, and makes me glad I've got my drywall up!!
Thank you Tims, Tom, Ian and Ray.
There is always some risk involved in exploring places like this, but there was no basement under the floor where I was standing. If I went through the floor, I would have fallen 8-10" at most. The upper floors were a bit more risky. (See the ceiling in "Tired").
hope your kitchen's back together Ian.
