[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Everywhere in Sörmland you have little red cabins (TORP) dotted out in the forest. The people who lived there was called Statare.
Statare were married agricultural laborers in Sweden who received payment primarily in kind. The system existed mainly in the south of Sweden and reached its maximum extent in the late 19th century. Thereafter the system gradually declined until it was formally abolished in 1945.
To day it's a bit of a summerhouse dream among swedes to have one of this "torp" from late 1700

Yes! an other typical thing is the fence made of Spruce

Definitely a dream home....lovely colours

Hi Anders. You seem to have so many red houses in Scandinavia! A delightful shot with lovely colours, and wonderful framing of the house by those autumn leaves. I also like the little fence in the foreground. Very good.
Regards,
Andrew

Hej Anders,
Many red cottages on TE these days. On this one the red paint seems to be unusually intense. Beautiful surroundings and a fine composition.

Hi Andres,
Great composition, nicely framed. I really like the contrast of colours.
Thanks for sharing,
Christianna

I want to be there. Very nice composition, with the fence setting the stage, and the view on the right leading the eye into the background.
