We go on holiday, sometimes in quite small cottages, and when we return home the first thing that hits us is a sense of space. The house just seems bigger than our cramped vacation. So I was thinking about this and wondered how many images I could lay my hands on where they celebrated the concept of space. No people, or at least perhaps only one or two, and some large indoor space that was just that, a space. A place where things might have been, where they certainly could be in the future, but for now empty and waiting for someone to enter.

The Long Gallery at Little Moreton Hall no longer sees the Ladies walking
Lyddington Bede House roof space is just an empty medieval space

And that's the way it was, with pictures selected from the year 2014. I just chose that year at random and went with whatever was there, so the choice has been a shared experience.
