When I'm travelling I'm always tempted to send a picture like this home to my kid and say "Hey, I purchased this new home for us here. You're gonna LOVE IT!!"

Yes, home away from home!
Pretty decorated walls, I'm sure the kids will love it.
Some of our farming areas have many old places like this but they usually have rusting cars and trucks covered in grass alongside them. And about 90% also have Sky TV arials too!!!
Good find Karen

Hello Karen
Very nice image of Club Med Resort. Very minimalist dwelling and a good idea of the culture and the way they live there.
Bravo

Hi Karen! Wonderful composition with the so-called house... The colors are excellent. Maybe for some this appears to be a place where it's impossible to live, but maybe those who live there could be very happy with they have. I don't think material posessions could make somebody really happy...
I'm just a dreamer :)
Best regards,
Diana

(Thesky needs a little more work on the tree line, as there are a few white spots still uncovered)

I can see you intense desire to share what you see in other parts of teh world, with all of the world, especially those whom you know best and love in Canada...A fine image Karen. forgive me. I have been so very busy...which is good for a retired man right?!:-)

Hi Karen,
A simple, but beautiful image.
I often wonder, who has the better "Lifestyle"!!! These people don't have the problems we foist upon ourselves...power bills, phone bills, repair bills et al.
There is a lot to be said for a simple stress free lifestyle though.
Mind you, I'm not all that sure I want to swap "lifestyles" just yet:)
Pete.

hello karen

This is looking like a very familiar scene. Farming and country living. A great capture

Hi Karen
Love yur sense of humour. It would be a good way to get the kids to appreciate what they often take for granted.
Its a good composition but you do have a lot of chromatic aberration.( the whites around the trees) it looks like you tried to put in a blue sky. Let me know if you use photoshop and if so I can send you a link that teaches how to put in a sky that selects everything.
Dot

Hi Karen,
So did you ? :o) Nice photo of a modest home, looks like a warm place from the brightest of the photo, I can sense the heat in the air, nice work. TFS

Hi Karen,
If you're kid has a business mind, he/she would reply to you cheekly ... "worst house in the best street ... great potential, Mom" :)
I like the goat in the picture ... he has got a big job ahead mowing that big lawn :)
Seriously. you've composed this well ... perfect placement of the hut. Colors are very natural too ... good overall contrast. Well done! tfs

Renier
