While driving we spotted this little cottage in a distant paddock and made a quick stop to capture this image.

How good of the ancient gum to fall away from the house. As Bob says a great old relic of the past times. I love exploring Maldon, Guildford ( my Grandmother was born there ) and Castlemaine areas when we go home.

Wonderful rural decay beautifully photographed. I see livestock in the yard so an owner must be nearby. V.

Good move to stop and capture the shot. These tumbled down buildings are fab.

You have to feel sorry for animals living in such squalor. A commentary for animal rights activists.

These old buildings keep enduring the elements even if their owner had to leave.... Nice image...

I would have thought this was abandoned judging by the condition of the house, but I see fences and an animal grazing in front, so maybe not. An excellent capture in any case, David. V.

The 400mm is so handy for picking up distant scenes without the worry of meeting up with a tiger eh! v
