This image shows a typical backyard in Røros.

It is worth mentioning that many of the miner families kept livestock in town… cow for milk and butter, pork for meat, and sheep for the wool! That is why there often is an addition to the house, intended for the animals.

Completely rebuilt after its destruction by Swedish troops in 1679, Røros has some 80 wooden houses, most of them standing around backyards. Many retain their dark pitch-log facades, giving the town a medieval appearance.

Here is how this image happened: I was speeding into the backyard – snap, snap, snap, snap – speeding out! I wasn’t even out of the car, looking closely you can see me in the reflection…

Well, what would you do if someone started photographing in your backyard? I didn’t take any chances here, hahaha!

I’m adding a different point of view from the backyard as workshop.

------

The only reason for founding a town in this place was the fact copper was discovered in the area, and Røros Copper Mining Company was established in 1644. The company was operative for 333 years, until closure in 1977 (2).

Hej Pablo
Beautiful image, great composition, good light, superb sharpness, a lot of details, well done.

Hello Pablo,
Another interesting cottage this time with cartwheels on it. The weathered look is just fantastic ... but what I find most interesting is the 'green' roof. This would be the most cost efficient natural insulation available. Only problem is it would be hard to take the lawnmower to the roof :) The wild flowers certainly made this the most decorative roof I've ever seen. Well captured and presented. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Hi Pablo
Perfect center of the image

Well done!

This really is a wonderful mixture of old and new. The hut itself has been around for a long time and its age shows as warmth and rich depth of colour. But the modern traces (the garbage can, the plastic pail and the reflection of the car in the windows of the hut) all add a touch of realism and help to put a smile on one's face. The biggest smile of all is reserved for the the way the wheels are hung on the wall of this hut: it is reminiscent of a Kilroy face -- delightful!
Superb capture, wonderful depth of colour

hi Pablo

Really interesting how you can find a backyard as a subject and yet it has many features to show, not to say you shot this from your car.

Wonderful details and attractive features of a backyard. I will follow you next time to shoot such kind of backyard, even if chased by owner.

I would be a bit worried if someone tried to photograph in my back yard :) I guess if you live in a wonderful building like this then you may be used to it. It is such a pretty weathered building and I love the roof garden!

Hi Pablo,
What a nice capture of this charming house! If the backyard is so pretty, how has to be the frontage? Really, it is interesting to see grasses growing on the roof! Very good colors and details. It would make a beautiful poster! Congratulations! Annie

Hi Pablo,

So you felt you were intruding a bit here, but those houses all look so inviting, you just have to make a capture! Yes I see the reflection in the window.

This is a special treat, because I love those roofs so much.

Thanks for making this picture and letting us enjoy the scene.

Good morning, Pablo!
I don't know why, but it seems very emotional to me - with the two cart wheels and the wild flowers on the roof - very good synthesis of old new elements.

Charming and picturesque old wooden house, it seems a fairy-tale cottage ! It is almost incredible that in this era of blocks and standard buildings, there still are people living in that kind of warm, full of personality old houses.

Very nice old design of the building.. I like the colours here. It would be more interesting if you could snap a full view of the backyard. I don't mind giving it a chance for everyone to take this lovely place but things the we might afraid.. they will sell the photo or use them in things that generate money without our concern :D.
