Everywhere, sheds like this, fashioned from stone quarried in the mountains and wood hewn in the local forest, are being replaced by modern utilitarian structures. Only a few remain in our 600-year-old village.

@Phill: Thanks, Phill. Appreciate your comment.
There is something about old doors that fascinate me. You did a great job capturing this one - the colors are awesome and there is a lot of detail. The more you look, the more you see! Well done Michael!

@Ina: Thank you, Ina. Old doors are fascinating, I agree.
What a beauty!!! It has everything..details, colours,patterns...Old wood and old stone are always full of effect!And some grass added for the picturesque! (must be the fodder in the shed!)Well seen, Michael! Gabriela

@Japanalia: Thanks, Gabriela. Yes the shed is stuffed with fodder. I loved how it bulged out. Somehow it was very appropriate for Christmas.
A nice door of a nice shed. Beautiful capured with nice colors and good details. Well done

I like these old structures and textures very much, time has colored and shaped them. Great shot!

@Illuci: Thank you, Illuci. You're right. Everything is there already. We just have to click the shutter.
Oh, what a pity they´re disappearing. They look really great.

@Sun: Many thanks, Sun.
This is a beautiful shed and I am so happy you have shared this with us. It is a wonderful photo. I know that progress cannot be stopped, but at least we can preserve the old in photos.

@martie: You are so right, Martie. We can preserve the past in pictures. Thank you for your kind comment.

ça sent bon la campagne , ça donne envie d'allez faire un tour des foins comme quand j'etais gamin
8 Jan 2008 7:00am
@PANAMEPHOTOS: Merci pour la remarque, Paname. Je suis d'accord. ça sent bon la campagne.
Stupid, STupid, Stupid PEOPLE to get rid of such beauty. I love wood, I love old wooden doors, I love old windows, and old entrances...Thank you for capturing it before it goes away.
8 Jan 2008 7:05am
@Lorraine: I agree totally, Lorraine. Your passion for such beauty is well-justified. Thanks so much.
NIce one Michael :) Here in my region you will find more old architecture :) but this is a great photo :)

@Ondro: Thanks, Ondro. I love these old sheds and traditional old houses.
This has a nice weathered look. Well done!
8 Jan 2008 8:23am
@Steven: Thanks, Steven. Appreciate the comment.
Nice detail, seems to be filled to the brim with hay... These old structures should be put under protectionso nobody can tear them down.
8 Jan 2008 8:35am
@Wolfgang Prigge: Thanks, Wolfgang. You're right about the protection. Yeh, they stuff as much hay as possible in to last for the winter.
What more can I add? This is beautiful. :)
8 Jan 2008 8:55am

@alla: Kind compliment. Thanks so much, Alla.
A village that old must hold incredible beauty. I love the textures and colours.
8 Jan 2008 11:24am
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks, Michael. Yes, the village certainly has its share of beauty especially in the mountainous surroundings.
Excellent job, cataloguing the remaining treasures of your town. 70 years old is pretty ancient around where I live....

@Walt: Thanks, Walt. I plan to do the best I can but things get pulled down and rebuilt pretty quick.
nice colors and textures

@yiannis krikis: Many thanks, Yiannis, for your kind comment.
Nice insulation! Cool looking doorway. Neat shot! :)
8 Jan 2008 1:31pm
@HorseRotorVator: Thanks. You're right about the insulation. Hay was even piled in the attics of houses to keep them warm.
Too bad they are disapearing! I love old structures and things because of the history behind, it makes me wonder...
8 Jan 2008 1:58pm
@Sandrine: Thanks, Sandrine. I guess they call it progress.
Maybe we all must fight with our cameras to protect little jewel like this, well done
8 Jan 2008 1:59pm
@Pedro: I agree that it is a fight worth taking up. Many thanks, Pedro. I guess many people don't see the beauty that we see.
J'ai toujours été fan des vieilles portes. Celle ci est magnifique, Bravo
8 Jan 2008 2:04pm

It is rustic old structures such as this that make wonderful images. Great find, wonderful capture and framing. Eventually it may become a memory but you have documented it in some way. Thank you for giving us this view and story.
