16-06-05 tumbledown

I went back to the ruined farm buildings I was at a couple of weeks back, intending to shoot another
aspect of the buildings. Unfortunately the local band of gypsies had moved in, and rather than
being confronted by a group of them I thought it best to move away.

The local rag is currently waging a war of words against them, which at times borders on the xenophobic.
As a result the relations between the travellers and the local community are pretty low. The last
thing they would want is a bloke pointing a camera at them.

So instead I shot the otherside of the building where the lean-to has begun to collapse. I was
quite happy though, it was just nice to be out of the house & in the open air for a decent length
of time again.

I wonder when it will be sold off to be a posh house...

Made for an interesting shot, Dom.Those stones show a lot of years in that building too.
