I came upon this abandoned farmhouse when I took a long hike crossing the border into Belgium. Across from this old farmhouse a new house was build and cool ice was sold, something I really needed after more than 3 hours walking through woods and over hills.

I've been trying to find some information on this old farm, but so far I have not found anything at all. SO if anybody does know something about this farm, it is much appreciated. I wish I knew how to work the map option, but I don't otherwise you could have known the exact location.

Tech talk: RAW to JPEG. Levels, saturation, USM, frame, resize and USM.

Great shot of a mundane scene. Everything is well balanced with perfect sharpness and rich colors. I love how the polarizing filter gives the blue sky a lot of punch. Nice work Niek.

Hallo Niek,
Net even gekeken bij je andere foto's. Heerlijk geruststellend als er meer mensen zijn die vergeten hun ISO's en andere instellingen terug te zetten na het nemen van een foto!
Map option, lijkt me een forum vraag - gaat vast wel iemand voor je uitzoeken hoe dat werkt. Of wellicht kan je op Google Earth inzoomen op de locatie, heb je gelijk de co-ordinaten - alleen zijn die (langer) afwijkend van de invulmogelijkheden hier - dus ik kan je niet helpen.
Dat zal een pittige wandeling zijn geweest. Vanaf Nederlands Limburg heb je al direct het gevoel in het buitenland te zijn.
In de scav hunt is er volgens mij ook een thema verlaten gebouwen.
TFS this wonderful and peaceful picture in a quiet rural setting.

Hello Niek,
I somehow feel that this beautiful building would not have been left abandonned in England! Such properties are highly sought after! You have portrayed them well. The trees make a natural frame, good composition and lovely bright colours.
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Niek

What a shame that it is going to ruin as it looks like a lovely place and seems to be well situated. The tall trees frame the shot nicely and the colours and light are very attractive. It sounds like you had a nice hike

Hi Neik,
Beautiful view! I like the enlightened facade! Too bad that this beautiful farmhouse is abandoned. It still seems in good condition. Very good composition and use of light. Bravo! Annie

Hi Niek.
Good presentation of Abandoned Farmhouse. Maybe someday will be running again. Good perspective and lighting.
My compliments.

Hello Niek,
This is interesting and a situation that can be found across most of Europe...
I have brought a few images myself showing the situation in Norway (TrekEarth), and statistics tells that a four digit number of farms are abandoned every year.
This is a well composed documentary, good light helps to bring out wonderful colours!
Greetings,

:-) OK-

Jammer dat ze zo een mooie omgeving niet opknappen voor gebruik.
Mooi gezien en vastgelegt,

What a shame - it looks an attractive house, nice architecture. But as buildings age the up-keep can be too expensive. We have lots of old houses in NZ, but not on the size of this place.
Well composed Niek, and I like how you have used the Poplar trees as a frame.
