Nobody home... by maggiemae

Nobody home...

An abandoned cottage in farmland beside the biking trail that I was on. The horses look well cared for.


Three good things;
1. Lovely scenes on either side of the trail today- twinkling leaves on the long line of willows in the sun, a field of happy bulls (thank goodness), a child riding a horse in another paddock, a group getting ready to ride the trail.
2. Found the throttle on my bike and I can use that without peddling. Brrm Brmm away I go! Like a silent motorbike!
3. Gave the roses a soak and the birds flocked in - just dull ordinary birds though.
just beautiful, I think I want to live there!

You're enjoying that bike....can your tell its electric when you look at it......I can imagine you sailing up the hills & everyone looking & saying that is one fit lady ! The world is your oyster ! Shame that house has no one to love it!

@happypat I did that the other day - where others are panting up the hill and going so slowly on the lowest gear, I sailed past this lady working in her garden and her head popped up in amazement!

Looks a lovely bike path, I'm seriously considering NZ next.

@maggiemae he he would be fantastic feeling!

splendid colors !

Beautiful shot. Sad looking house. I think this would have been a cozy, lovely home at one time. I am glad you found that you can use just the motor and not have to peddle all of the time.

What a lovely cottage and odd that the horses are there if it is abandonded. Nicely composed Maggie!

Great shot, Maggie. Love the horses in the photo. I wonder if the horses are well cared for then maybe someone tends to the cottage as well? I love the sound of a motorized bicycle! Sounds like a blast! Peddling can get tiresome!
October 26th, 2014  
Charming, Maggie!
October 26th, 2014  
@prttblues thanks Bev! The bike has a sort of motor that is run by battery that one recharges by plugging in!

A beautiful scene and capture. Don't you wish you could know the history of that cottage?
October 26th, 2014  
Lovely scene

@khawbecker Its probably the original farm house of that piece of land and there is a new house somewhere else that I didn't see. There are a lot like this around but this one is made of stone and will last. They might turn it into a holiday house as the Alps to Ocean bike trail runs right past! But I doubt it!

That is a great looking setting
October 26th, 2014  
Love the growth on the roof. How cool!!!

Terrific capture and sad about the abandoned cottage. My mind turns to the love and effort that no doubt went into the building of it. Fav

Great find

Sometimes I am amazed to see certain shots. I cannot understand how people just abandon a house. Perhaps it's because here we are overcrowded with people.
October 26th, 2014  
@sangwann I agree, Dione! Inside this house it probably be fixed with leaks and crumbling walls but maybe not be allowed to live in because of regulations!

Lovely part of the world - thanks for sharing
October 26th, 2014  
Such a lovely scene. I can see I'm going to have to explore further south!
October 26th, 2014  
... think I may move in! What a wonderful place, really lovely!
October 26th, 2014  
Lovely, has a real feel of the Wild West
October 26th, 2014  
Looks in good condition, and what a lovely setting!
October 26th, 2014  
Gorgeous scenery. It would be good to renovate that little cottage xx
October 26th, 2014  
Another FAV. Lovely scene.

Great comp and light.

A lovely rural scene. I don't think I could have biked past without a peek inside. This sounds like a great bike trail to do - especially in the electric way you are tackling it. :)
October 27th, 2014  
It's very pretty and had such a pretty view. So sad it's unoccupied now. But it makes for a lovely shot.

Love,y scene Fav
