[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Opposite to my former posting showing a summer farm converted to weekend cottage, the place we see here has apparently no such function. The overall state of the place tells me so, but most of all the vegetation growing freely around the houses is a signal the place is abandoned.

What we see here is the barn on the summer farm. The only function of this building was to provide shelter during night time as the cattle was brought in for the milking.

A wider view including the farmhouse is posted to workshop 1.

The building material used to be timber. The easy access to this material explains why, as one made use of what you had after clearing the building site and surrounding field! This was normally pine or fir, pine was regarded as superior because of longer durability.

Timber wall detail in workshop 2.

------

[2] A few decades back summer farms were widely used in Norwegian agriculture, and the main purpose was to make better use of the food for the animals. By bringing the cattle to the mountains for the summer the grass on the farm could be dried and stored for winter use.

Summer farm in Norwegian: Seter.

Hi Pablo,

Still a beautiful catch of sight on these barns. This one seems to be invaded by the vegetation. This sky is splendid, I like it much. I appreciate also the more general sight on the place. The natural colors are very pleasant. Beautiful and interesting, thank you for the note.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Hi Pablo,
I could only wish for an early spring after looking at this photo. Well framed, the clouds are beautiful, and the view is terrific. Best regards, Danilo

Hi Pablo,

A nice country scenery with the summer farm surrounded by trees un der a beautiful sky. The photo is clear and precise. It is receiving a good luminosity which brings out the colors. Well done, have a nice day.

Its a lovely summer farm with the barn surrounding by the nature and nice combined with the cloud's formation. I do like the ws pictures, its easier to understand this place after opened. Thanks for share it.

Hi Pablo, given the choice between the land being used as a retreat or having it lie fallow, I think I'd rather see it used. This is a good shot of this farm, fallen into disrepair. That sky is beautiful, seems a shame, it's not used by anyone today.

Thanks, John

Hi Pablo
Lovely clouds in this excellent vertical composition.
Wonderful colours and very good details.
Excellent note as ussual

Olá Pablo, it's impressive how you can make a such an attractive picture with a non attractive barn. Somehow, that ugly old roof is beautiful in this vertical view. Great composition, wonderful sky, excellent note and presentation with the two complementar WSs.

It can look humble, but I bet it still cost tens of thousands of Euro. I once inquired about the prices on summer places in Norway. I'm still amazed. But now I can see such prices in Russia also, well, maybe little lesser, but difference is not so big.
Hm. Well. Photo is good, roof looks like it's standing on the earth without the walls.

You chose for a vertical frame with gives a very nice composition with the lovely clouds to the sky.

Both WS pictures are absolutely also very nice.

Hi Pablo,
I think that you have made a phenomenal composition with perfect proportions.
The chromatic force of the sky is as great as its protagonism, is impressive. You have made a perfect POV that emphasizes the detail of the farm, in a perspective that shows its architecture to us and that thanks to the WS and the informative note, the work is detailed and conceptual.

Beautiful blue sky with lovely puffy white clouds to contrast wonderfully with the rusty old roof of the summer barn. It looks like the ground is swallowing the old barn up. Wonderful details and excllent sharpness to this back country image.

Hi Pablo,
While the wider WS view is very attractive, it simply can't match the fabulous cloud sculpture in this photo which is very nicely grounded by the angle of the summer barn roof. The note is very interesting while the close up of the logs illustrates your note well and also is very attractive in its own right with detail of the wood grain and the golden grass.
HLj, Pat

Hi Pablo, the division of the parts, earth and sky is very amazing, it makes the image very impressive with the great sky and clouds.
The sharpness on the earth part is superb.
Cheers

Bonjour, mon ami Pablo,
La ferme semble s'enfoncer dans les hautes herbes, seuls les toits rouillés par le temps entourés par de hauts sapins se découpent harmonieusement avec ce ciel aux merveilleux nuages.
Amitiés.

- The farm seems to be inserted in tall grasses, only the rusted roofs are visible and it is well thus! you made well privilege this beautiful cloudy sky, excellent, bravo!

Hej Pablo
A striped roof of corrugated sheet metal, breaks up the enviroment in a nice way, and gives the Idea of that a barn needs a cheap waterproof roof to keep the hay dry. Allso like the dark spruce at the fond.

Hi Pablo,
while it heavily snows outside, this summer shot is very nice. Blue sky and white clouds are in a great tango.

Hi Pablo,
Fantastic cloud formation to dominate the compo ... very eye catching. Looks like the owner of this place hasn't cut his lawn for sometime ... he should invest in a goat :) Well captured and composed. Well done! tfs and have a nice weekend.

Hi Pablo,
The beauty of the sky and the clouds is what fills this composition with a great aesthetic sense. The barn surrounded with a nice forest down in the frame completes a very attractive and made well picture, with a great light and a few beautiful colors.
Best regards,

Hi Pablo,
if it were not red but only grey I would have thought of some sun collectors. I like the wonderful sky which is very well structured and gets a good ground final in that green. The lonely roof adds a bit a funny touch.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Pablo,

Yes the place seem rundown a bit but the sky compensate for the feeling of isolation and desolation. Very nice compoition with a vertical frame to capture the white clouds. It does seem like you had a nice day to go along this road. Good dynamics and details. Thanks Pablo

Hello Pablo
The wider view in the WS is very nice because of the contrasting roofs. I guess the light is slightly better there than this original post as well. Like your compositional skill making a less attractive subject into a very good photo. Of course the sky deserves the space it does here. Well done!

Hi Pablo!

Great framing and composition, magnificent sky and perfect light managment in your photo! Beautiful colours and great overall definition! Congratulations!

Hercules

Hi, Pablo. The sky is really great here and I understand why you've dedicated so musch space to it. This also gives a feeling of immensity and gives us the impression the barn is far away from everything. The contrasts are very good here, just as the colours. The set of three pictures gives a very good idea of what the place looks like.

Hello Pablo,

The sky is enormous in this shot! I like your choice of portrait rather than landscape to insinuate the depth of the sky!

The rusty red on the roof just gives that little colour to lift the whole!

Kind regards,

Many thanks for your warm comments on 'A moorland home'.

Excellent and effective scene, the beautiful sky with those clouds, the old barn with its rusty roof and surrounded by trees. I like the colors and the vertical framing.

Hello Pablo,

Very nice to open up the sky with thick white cloud looking so good against the blue sky. The corrugated roofing looks rustic and charming against those pines makes good foreground and the horizon.

Funny how rusty corrugated iron can sometimes (but only some times !) appear beautiful in a photo, here it is the case, I like the big sky too with its optimistic clouds... A lovely composition,
Bravo,

Hello Pablo
Here again I will talk of my ancestors!!
Before the refrigerator and coolboxes era they dug cold storage rooms to preserve vegetables buried in saw dust.
These "vaults" were covered with such a low roof too.
This picture, quite evocative of a laborious lifestyle, is an homage to valorous people and is crowned of a magnificent sky!
Thanks for your comment on TL.
