Farm Building
One of the remaining farm buildings at the Rudan nature reserve in Handen. The farm dates back around 400 years, and had several owners through the centuries. Today the land is owned by the municipality and the farm is long gone.
I shot this from a futuristic (and ugly looking),spiral staircase that will take visitors to the nature reserve from central Handen. Not too sad Halcyon, most of the buildings have found new use. There's a theatre in one of them. No snow yet for a while I hope!
It's a little sad that farming is no longer done here. Hopefully the building will get a new use one day.
ReplyDeleteA delightful image! I hope your municipality is better than our at keeping what it owns...
ReplyDeleteBeautifully composed image Steffens. The autumn colours are really lovely..
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic autumn shot. Great focus and an interesting composition.
ReplyDeleteIt's painted what I think of as "winter red." Helps you find your farms house in all that snow.

ReplyDeleteI love how you have caught this amongst the beautiful leaves. Very nicely done.
