we are staying with a friend at her house by the fjord, not the one she lives in now but the one where she was born. the land has been in the family for generations and her father was a collector of all kinds of mechanical stuff.
a lot of which ended up as junk tossed around their boathouse years ago.
and it seems that practice has been passed along to the next generation. now i am a nature lover so usually i hate it when folks just throw their junk out in nature, especially in beautiful places like this amazing seacoast.
but i am also an avid amateur photographer and when i saw all the rusted scrap around the boathouse
i knew i had discovered a treasure.
the house and boathouse are along a popular national scenic road. it is a stretch to consider all this rummage a beautification but it's not like it spoils the scene for somebody passing by. you can't see it until you get up close and the land is private so i am likely the first to fixate on the peculiar beauty of the setting.
some of the rusted stuff is still in use, like this roof so it's not junk at all
yet
i took these shots on my Samsung S22 phone
they are edited either on the phone itself or in the free version of photoshop or both.
this is the twelfth post in a series of photos i took in Leirfjord, Norway at the end of August.
