[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This barn has been her a long long time from the time of the first settlement.
The blue flower in front of the barn is the rare Alpine Blue-sow-thistle (Torta in swedish) localy known as Bearflower as it is a favorit in the autumn by the bears as a digestive between all the blueberries before they go to in to hibernation.

Hello Anders,
A picturesque scenery, but not uncommon in rural Scandinavia!
The wild flowers and the dense forest make the perfect setting for this long abandoned structure, here given to the audience in this very attractive composition!
Greetings,

Hi Anders.
I just read a novel by Stieg Larsson. Do you know of him? Very good book.
And of course with my nick-name I was immediately drawn by the title of your shot. This ancient barn is very sharply captured in a scene showing how nature will slowly take over again one day. The point of view uses the thistle flowers very nicely in the foreground. Perhaps the old barn could be just a little more to the right in the picture. But I like the very natural colour and good lighting.
Regards,
Andrew

Hej Anders,
There must be a very interesting history behind this abandoned house. How old is is? Who built it? But nature is taking everything back, slowly but efficiently. How many years before it is finally gone?

Hej Anders,
This looks very remote indeed. The barn is melting into the background, probably more so with every year passing. The fence functions well as a connection between the foreground and the building,

Hi Anders,

Hei Anders!

A common view in rural areas of our countries, captured in a fine composition of greenery and flowers. The Bearflower (Turt in Norwegian) adds a lot to the picture, with its high blue flowers. Good summer light, nice to see this in the middle of a very white season.
I like the way you have used the fence in this composition.

Hej igen,
Its amazing to see how the nature take over and reclaim whats once was lost. What really caught my eye was the silver tone of the wood displaying how old it must be.
