Miner's cottage

A sweet wee miner's cottage hidden in the hills amongst thyme and lupins. Isolation at its best! Would we be lonely here or alone?

[Simply Amanda]

Maybe a bit of both. Love this scene and your amazing edit. Super find!

[julia]

Well I know where you are.. It is such a cool little cottage and you don't even have to go off the beaten track.. I loved the smell of thyme when we were there..

[julia]

Oh darn.. I tried to add the link for you to see my shot check out my 365 album 6th july this year..

[Lindy]

Now that's seclusion!!!

[Maggiemae]

@julzmaioro I did see it Julia! Its fun to recognise other photographs from my NZ friends!

[Dinah Pinkston]

This makes a gorgeous scene ...This certainly is isolation at its best!

[Karen]

Beautiful image, what an awesome place to visit.

[Graeme Stevens]

Great shot, like the isolation

[Beryl Lloyd]

What a little gem to find in such isolation and a wonderful spot to visit , ,beautiful landscape and a lovely composition !

[Anita Campbell]

Lovely. I'd enjoy it for awhile and then want to get back to "civilization". I'm a born and raised "city girl", I'm afraid. However. I do love the ruralness of my family's farms and small town life in Alberta.

[Pam Knowler]

It looks beautiful and great for a holiday but looks a bit remote for every day living.

[Maggiemae]

@aglennc I would be the same way, Anita - love the silence and the peace until I yearned for the noise of the real world around me!

[Debra Hall]

so thought stimulating is this shot, stunning

[Francoise]

Right now that seems like quite the place to be (so long as it had internet)

[Julie Duncan]

Lovely! I'd like to try for the alone-ness! :)

[gloria jones]

Lovely landscape, layers, colors

[richard saffold]

i would be fine as long as i could run into town and paint it red now and then.

[katy]

It looks like it would be a lovely place to live for a little while at least! Beautiful colors and composition to the shot

[Ann Williams]

Depends on the person I guess. Lovely shot - I love the greens.

[Phil Howcroft]

lovely landscape maggie

[Maggiemae]

@francoise No internet or bathroom I would expect, Francoise!

[Maggiemae]

@chard There's a pub within walking distance, Richard!

[Irene]

A bit of both. Work in the past was hard. Lovely lands ape though

[Pat Knowles]

Both maggiemae....I don't like this much isolation in my life these days......too many years of living with no houses in sight at our other place. Very beautiful spot though!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot.

[belinda]

Lovely, looks like a painting

[Kerry McCarthy]

Wonderful scene! Would be a lovely spot to spend some time but could get lonely after a while.

[Daisy Miller]

Beautiful shot. I think I would like the cottage for a while and then I would feel lonely.

[Maggiemae]

@happypat There is a little village just down the road within walking distance, Pat and a lovely swimming river about 10 mins walk away! However this cute little hut is not for rent that I know! Just having a dream!

[Kim Harper]

Some days this looks like a dream. Other days perhaps a bit too alone. Hopefully nearby neighbors.

[Monique Nadeau]

It's like a postcard, Maggie. You must be the most peaceful person I know. Your surroundings are heaven.

[Tony]

Looks well placed to be protected from the winds.

[Karen Mitchell]

Ah great landscape, super layered shot.

[Maggiemae]

@kandkids I thought that too, Karen - looking over the top of the ridge of hills!

[Lee]

Great looking spot. I'd like to think I could cope with living there, the reality is probably different. I think maybe it depends on the services it has and suspect there arent any. We've all become reliant on indoor ablutions, running water, internet etc. Still, I'd like to give it a go.

[Claire]

It is nestled nicely there

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is so lovely- like a painting in the Metro. Museum of Art! fav

[Gillian]

Such a cute cottage! Perfect for a few weeks' retreat from the hustle bustle of city life!
