The old buildings beside the house are owned by a neighbouring farmer. He lets me use one for the hen house, and another to store my mower in. The others aren't used these days except to store machinery etc. I love these old buildings. Some of them were originally dwelling houses and then when they started to fall down or the family grew they were extended or turned into byres and a new house built. Used a few filters on these pictures....

Nature reclaiming the building
How lovely! You have a good eye! Nature does take back her own, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteThank you. She does and I love that!
DeleteLots of stories in those walls. Do you get good dark skies there for stargazing?
ReplyDeleteOh yes if only those stones could talk. Yes wonderful dark skies. I never realised there were such layers of stars in the sky. South of the house the sky is wonderfully dark, but north (where the merry dancers perform) is a lot of light pollution from Stromness (harbour mainly). So that is disappointing.
