Now, whoever lived here had a hook fetish. Look at them all!!
This is like a picture out of a children's story book that one has to look at over and over. I love it.
I can hear families playing and families squabbling. I can hear that wonderful door flapping and then slamming shut. I can hear water being chugged up by that pump and splashing into the trough.
Looking at the enlargement the contrast is still sharp so I have to wonder at the color values. It's surprising to me - still - what doesn't translate well into monochrome. The real corker for me is the open transom.
Unfortunately there isn't any English website about this estate, so my meagre information has to suffice: it is a court estate built 1560, situated nowadays in a UNESCO nature-sanctuary.
And of course they put some 21st century stainless steel bicycle stands in the frontyard's corner.
This is more a daily feed than a daily blog.
Photos are resized or may be cropped - that's the only post-processing I do.
The quotes: it is essential to me to only quote from things I am currently reading ... I must admit it is sometimes lopsided ... reading a 1000 page novel takes some time ;-)

Wonderful ..
I have to say that I am very happy not to know! What alovely old building.
I think that picture is perfect. It has so many good qualities on it, the texture, lighting, and overall feel. Very nice.
A beautiful image. Appeals to my sense of the rustic.

You capture well the higgledy-pigglediness of the old building.
