a farm house with a blue barn

blue barn

farm house

good morning

This cottage used to be someone's farm house. It faces a salt water lake, and beyond is the sea. An architect now owns it, and did some alterations to this house, but I like it that they maintained most of it's original charm.

It was spooky the first couple of nights, no lights outside, and no cars. The house also creeks as it settles in for the night. But when we got used to the noises of the house, it was the most peaceful place we have ever been.

It is a place to unplug, there is no cellphone reception, television, or internet here. We were completely disconnected from the world.

  6. Whoa, such a beautiful place (and gorgeous photos).

    Your photos are so sharp. What is your gear?
    (I've been frustrated with mine as I cannot seem to make photos bigger, and when they are compressed, they turn out so fuzzy and unsharp.)

  12. thank you so much everyone for your lovely comments! Thank you for saying hello! I really am flattered that you enjoyed the photos.

    Aixx - these photos were shot with my Hasselblad, and it was developed with negatives scanned. Have you tried going into the wordpress html, and making your photos display larger? That is what I had to do. I do not like how photos get pixelated when it is resized either. Bugs me a lot.
