A friend living in a mobile home on this farm invited me to visit for a day in 2009. It's a working farm, but a small section has been left unused and allowed to decay. As on all farms, even the well-used parts have that delightful combination of rust, wood, grass and dried mud along with cobbled-together outbuildings. And on this farm, the stunning views of the lovely Blackdown Hills.
It was a great opportunity to satisfy my photo cravings, the top photo one of many things which caught my attention. The abandoned cattle feeder (above), on its way to becoming overgrown, creating bold shadows against the corrugated-patched barn, and the barn itself a stark contrast against the bright blue sky.
An unused pigsty, below.
And a delightful cameo of an old watering can standing next to cane fruit growing in a plastic bucket.
A long-abandoned stone trough above...
...a wonderfully wonky trailer and a few more photos of the buildings...
...and finally the view of the distant Blackdown Hills.
