Ruined Farm...

...these are (were!) the farm buildings belonging to the 'Amityville Horror House' farmhouse that I featured Thursday 5 December. The farm buildings date from a time when many people in rural Brittany survived on subsistence farming - a cow, a couple of pigs, a sheep or two and lots of chickens and ducks... and a bit of land to grow food for the family and the animals.

BoB... inevitably!

And I notice that this is the 3000th image I've posted in my project... In just under 6 years.

Could be a cover for a thriller book !

Stellar capture of light, textures, and decline

[bkb in the city]

Great find

[Maggiemae]

Gracious - I've heard about Amityville! Some walls are so strong as is the chimney but I can't see that here!

[Walks @ 7]

Fav, and of course it is even better on black.

[Issi Bannerman]

It's quite beautiful on black. I love the lines of harvested crop. Would that have been maize or some other crop?

[KoalaGardens🐨]

I like this view of it from afar too

[Julie Duncan]

Stark and beautiful! I notice you didn't get too close this time - ha ha ha! ;)

[Richard Sayer]

@maggiemae @koalagardens @juliedduncan Thanks for your comments - this isn't the 'Amityville Horror House', these are the ruined farm buildings opposite... perhaps a full view of the farmhouse later.

[Richard Sayer]

@jamibann Maize it is... or was!

[Fisher Family]

A lovely rural scene with a super sky. I always feel a little sad when I see derelict rural buildings like this - a lifestyle that has passed. Fav!

[Hazel]

I like it!

[Domenico Dodaro]

There are many ruined farms like this in Italy. Subsistence farming was (maybe still is) the ordinary way of farming in the “Bel Paese”, as a matter of fact. Yet, they make for a great photo subject! Fav for your mastery on B&W, did I say it already?

[Clare Gadsby]

mmm maybe more haunted-looking in b&w

[Ivan]

Lovely mono image...fav

[Janiskay]

I love this deserted farm. I remember you photographing it before. Cold, desolate, sad but yet beautiful in it own right.

[Julie Duncan]

@vignouse Yes please! :)

[haskar]

A wonderful shot. Great details and soft light.

[Joan Robillard]

The house represents a dying lifestyle.

This b&w really highlights the textures of the field and rock walls of the building.
