Curvilinear

I am very fond of the way that piece of plywood has almost the very same curve as the leaf springs do.

A slow creeping

The kitchen windowsill from the same house in yesterday’s post. That’s quite a healthy collection of cobwebs, isn’t it? And how about that thick coating of dust on everything?

(By the time you see this post, this place will have been demolished: someone’s home is becoming a parking lot.)

The Aftermath

One down, one to go.

This is not an uncommon sight around here, where the uncertainties of farming, the need of fewer people to work the same crops, the (periodic) rise of the oil and gas industries, the increasing population of elderly people, and other factors mean that walking away and letting nature take its course is a common decision.

For what it’s worth, I saw a bedpan, a hymnbook, and a straw hat in the rubble.

An unsecured location

The front door of our country home.

Or, to be accurate, what’s left of the front door of a hut on some land we’ve got out in the country. The hut came with the place, and has been in the process of falling down for a decade. There’s a hole in the roof now, so I don’t image it will make it through many more winters.

You can see other shots of the hut here and here and here and here.
