Continued cold and windy here, and clear—which makes it even colder. Thinking back to more warmer times, this one came to mind. I came across this shed in Australia, near Armidale, New South Wales, in September 2007.
It seemed to be abandoned, but who knows when it might come in handy for shelter from a sudden storm or a place for melancholic reflection—or maybe a barbie? Count me in!

Looks like a great place to spend an afternoon….or an evening, maybe, depending on the size of the mosquitoes….
No worries, Scott. They’re so big that you can see them coming well in advance. Just bring along your tennis racket and you’ll be fine.
Ah…no problems then….I play a pretty good game of racquetball, so I think I might do OK against them. :)
It does look like such a wonderful spot to spend a bit of time, and the fire pit would make it just about perfect.
I could instantly imagine myself sitting in a rocking chair on that old porch in the shade with a dog or two next to me and just contemplating the serenity.
Wonder how old it is? Did you go inside, Gary?
No telling, but I’d say many decades. I was tempted to look more closely, but there was a barbed-wire fence that seemed to be in fair repair so I left it to my imagination.
Nice! Looks a great spot to just get away from the world for a while. I wonder the same as Vicki. Did you explore the inside?
I admit readily that such casual/curious trespass is not beneath my dignity on occasion, but I had already hoppeded one fence and gone 50 yards or so to get into shooting position, and I figured I’d better not push my luck. Maybe next time!
I’d enjoy the peace and solitude that seems to radiate from that cabin and location. Thanks for the warm wishes–we certainly don’t have the amounts of snow that other areas of the US have suffered, but we are in another round of arctic temperatures that are in the single digits and below zero when you factor in the wind.
We expect that here, but I seldom experienced cold like that while I lived there. It really does help to delve back into memories of inviting outdoor conditions.
