A DISMANTLED COWSHED


I like to imagine a story behind a photograph of a decadent stable falling into desuetude in a small farm...

  1. Do you know what amazes me, Sonia? The fact that they had used bricks on the façade. Around here barns and sheds are built of wood and painted clapboard. Many of the very old barns still stand in great shape.

    How's your week going?

  2. I too was surprised to see the brickwork - one doesn't see that in Canada either. It's always sad to see a building in such a state - one hopes there are many good memories stored there. Thought-provoking photos Sonia.

  4. A very nice scene. Looks rather like something you would see on the back roads around here.

  5. I think the farmer bought a winning lottery ticket and decided to give up farming and travel round the world spending his money!

  7. Oh, Indeed, Sonia. You know there is such a feeling in these pictures that there definitely IS a story here....What it is, I don't know, but I think it must be very poignant. A sadness in the dewlapidated shed....BEAUTIFUL Pictures, my dear. So very sensitive.....

    Thank you so much for your kind and caring words, dear Sonia. It means so very much to me. These days are hard right now and your words soften the pain. I thank you with all my heart, my dear.

  8. Realmente da para estimular a imaginação...acho que ele gostava tanto de suas vaquinhas que não tinha coragem de comê-las, então as vendeu e resolveu plantar soja.
    As fotos estão muito bonitas.
    Beijos.

  10. I like the ex-shammickite's optimistic version! Maybe not true?

  11. Para além da beleza da paisagem, fica o mistério do destino infausto desse abrigo de gado ... um bom caso para Sonia "Indiana Jones" Mascaro investigar ... :)

  14. Sonia,
    I also love to imagine stories behind photographs. And I'd like to visit Holambra one day.

  15. Sonia, eu não canso de admirar o seu bom gosto. Aquelas fotos dos seus antepassados são maravilhosas, têm um encanto indescritível, parece que estamos vivos num passado distante. Lindas fotos. Todas.
    Abraços, e boa semana.
