Farm in The Forest, a photo from Sor-Trondelag, South

Photographer's Note

A quick visit back to the "remote farms" theme...

A farmer's life used to be hard and even more so in a remote location like this. It is my guess that this place in the beginning made a living mainly by forestry and hunting, and at the same time had some livestock at least to cover their own needs.

Today life is very different for farmers, for several reasons. While the place we see here had a several hours journey by horse and carriage to the nearest village, this trip today is done by 30 minutes in a car...

I also have to mention that farming in Norway today receive large financial support, as about half the income of a farmer comes from the government!

In spite of this hundreds of farms are abandoned every year, but they are small and often remote farms with no future really. When this happens the land often is taken over by the neighbouring farms that grow bigger and more efficient this way.

Hello Pablo,

Still it is necessary to have its driving licence (lol)� A very beautiful estival photograph, luminous and coloured on this beautiful area, perhaps moved back, but so pleasant and alleviating. I like much this sky which brings a good relief to the landscape. Pretty glance and thank you for your interesting informative note.

With all my friendships and very good Sunday,

Jean-Charles

pierrefonds (113474) 2011-02-06 4:11

Hi Pablo,

The trees are a natural frame to the farm. The distance between the trees and the farm is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the farm buildings. the qual;ity of the light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Pablo,
This is a fine summer shot to help warm our souls on these cold winter days. Your composition is great placing the traditional red Norwegian buildings to one side and including the great cloud formations on the other. The layers of trees and open field are nice and lead the eye through the scene. The lighting and colors are great and the photo has fine sharpness.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Pablo,
this one is a good summer capture, with a great light and a few perfectly saturated, very natural colors.
The combination of the blue sky, the white clouds, such a green forest and the red farms with its wooden architecture, provide a beautiful palette of colors to this composition, which increases its beauty because of its quality of image and its visual attraction.
Well done, my friend.

Bonsoir Pablo,
Sous ce beau ciel joliment garni de nuages, l'endroit respire la qui彋ude et la promenade revigorante;
Une image bien cadr嶪 qui en d嶰entrant la ferme mise en valeur par sa couleur rouge laisse une porte ouverte sur le reste de la for皻 et ce tr鋊 beau ciel.
