F is for Farmhouse

This florid fallen-in farmhouse near Sibiel was my favorite homestead in Transylvania. I found it on our foray through the fabulous old villages I posted a few months ago.


Sibiel, Romania, 2011

Check out the other fantastic F posts linked to ABC Wednesday.

    Oh my, I think I would have worn my camera out photographing this house. It looks like a Hansel and Gretel fairytale.
    Your pictures always fascinate me, Francisca.

    The closeup looks like a painting, rather than a photo!

    How interesting! It looks like the house and barn are attached. I wonder when it was abandoned as a home. Hmmm.

    A legitimate work of art, the second one.

    Ditto Roger...thought the second was a painting and was going to ask if you'd done it. This house looks like it has such character and makes one wonder about its past history and who lived there and what life was like. Fantastic post, Francisca, and have a fabulous week,

    Just the kind of place I like to photograph. Although in a state of decay its character still shines through.

    Hi Francisca, those windows remind me of the colors in Solo, Indonesia, where portals be it windows or doors are all colored vividly and attractive.

    Your close up has a wonderful level of abstraction. It really could be on a canvas. Sharp observation.

    Those windows are a work of art. I had to enlarge the photo to check that they hadn't just been painted on the building!

    It is lovely - I wonder who thought to paint it in such amazing colours, only to have to abandon it.
