HOw sad to see those windows greyed over in death. They have become blind and sightless!
This is a very powerful posting -- the way you have captured the windows really adds to the sense of loss and desolation

Hi Pablo,

Abandonned, but still looking very attractive in a picture. Here the farms also have to get bigger. When sons of farmers want to farm, they also look at the possibility to emigrate to other countries, like Canada. A much different start then people who did emigrate right after WW II. No they go equipped with knowledge and money, and most of them will make a good living.
Good to hear that the fields are not going to waste.

Hi Pablo

What a shame, not just for the building but it is a shame for the way of life. People go for instant wealth rather than a quiet way of life. This is a beautiful clear, crisp and vibrant shot.

I think the move to larger farms is happening everywhere. However, you have captured the lack of habitation here, no curtains in the windows, etc.

Hi Pablo,
I like these eco-friendly homes ... interesting use of grass to use as roof insulation. However, I won't be so keen in climbing up the roof and running my lawnmower :) Another way to beautify this house is plant wild flowers along with the grasses. Wonderfully captured and presented. Well done! tfs

Hi Pablo, Good composition even if the story with it is a bit sad to hear about. It seems the same in many countries the divide between farming and city is widening and most of the young ones follow the city jobs for better pay generally. Goodperspective. TFS Murray.

Hello Pablo. These barns might be abandoned but plenty of grace left in this image. You have kept the angle low capturing the grassy foreground well exposing contrasting texture of the architecture. Pleasant contrast against the forest backdrop and beautiful blue sky. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni

Hello Pablo,

A very near to the reality in your note. This is not only the problem at your place, but, seems all around. Even in India, cities are getting crowded as many are migrating to cities in search of careers. You have presented it perfectly.

Coming to the picture, it is full of goodies, like great composition and colors. I like the different POV for this. Well seen, framed and presented. TFS.

Hi Palo,
You tell me the same story that my area lives! The cities becomes more and more big and the rural countries least and least inhabited. The campaigns are traditionally the reservoirs of resources and labour for the city. What will it occur when they will be completely deserted?

This is a good documentary photo on this reality. The composition, colors and sharpness have a high level, as usual in your work! Bravo! Annie

The same thing is happening here, and we find more and more abandoned buildings going to ruins.
You took a very nice shot of this still fairly well preserved
compound. Leaving a lot of the green adds to the composition

Yours is a tale I think that is world wide, we see alot of deserted farms back in Vermont and yes I've seen a few around here too. Sad to see indeed. Great POV on the old buildings, love the textures, the wood, grass and clouds...beautiful color! TFS

Wonderful capture of this old framstead seen in great details and sharpness. Love the earthen roof, lush green grass that contrast so beautifully with the pale blue sky. This is also a common scene across rural North America.

Hi Pablo,
It's a worlwide "disease", I guess, to eliminate the small, traditional producers. Only big industries have "rights" in the modern society.
Very nice place, a shame to have been abandonned. Wonderful colors and, needless to say, very good sharpness!

Hi Pablo
while reading your notes i remember many farms in India which are abandoned due to many reasons, as here new generation doesnot see any future in it, sometimes globlization carried us away. you are very true, Time changes life changes.

this shot of your's is a statement, with fine details and sharpness.
well compostion.

Another of your very picturesque rural scenes--wooden houses with grass on their roofs, green grass, blue sky. The emblematic image of a different, old-times life-style that has become history. Excellent vivid colors, light and compo.

What's apecial about Norway's landscapes is the fact that they don't need to be Photoshopped to appear glorious!
Your long verdant foreground and the brown color of buildings enhance the impression of loneliness of this abandoned farm.
Take care.

Hello, Pablo,
nice to see your excellent work on this site, too. This is a sinful waste and shame. What a beautiful place. I guess it is universal, though. Agribusiness has taken over America and the small farmers fade more and more each year. Beautiful color and contrasts. I love the dark green and light green with those splendid wooden stuctures between and that wonderful blue above it all. Fabulous light, too. I'd like to live there... (except in winter :))..) Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

Hello Pablo,
Not a pleasant story, but its happening everywhere, even here. While driving with my husband, our conversation would just go on as "Look, there goes another one...and there's another one". Its very sad.
An abandoned barn, but yet you captured it beautifully in its own way. Details of the building are looking sharp even in this distance, not even leaving out the details of the foreground. Beautifully composed.

Best regards,
Sharina
