Tiny House in a Landscape
There is something about a stone building that draws me to it. It must be the strength and endurance of the building material. Though cold to the touch and difficult to heat the beauty of stone is hard to compare.
This photograph adds another element of beauty as well. The waterfall. The photographer was able to catch the movement of the water with a long exposure and make you feel like you are right there.

Simply beautiful.
Such a wonderful photo. I would love to live in a place like that
Oh, such a lovely scene. Do you know where that was taken?
Recarei, a small town in Portugal.
The original photo can be found here:

*I found it there after it was posted on this blog though, I didn’t submit it here.
That is a great photo. The building looks like it might be inhabited by raccoons at this point, but great photo.
It looks like a Thomas Kinkade painting.
Fabulous photo. A bit too near the water for me.
Absolutely adorable!
Even more, I think it’s the plants, the richness of foliage around it that makes it endearing to me.
I think this is a watermill. In some villages they used to use the convoy of the river to mill cereals.
Tradicional houses in the NorthEast of Portugal are made of solid blocks of granite and in others areas around with blocks of slate as well.
Another example that native people use the materials that are very abundant where they live, in that areas is actually humid and cold in the winter and stone houses are pretty cold but they used to have a wide fireplaces that looks more like a wide door opening and they would even smoke meat there like the sausages and presunto (prosciutto) on that fireplaces.
But this example wasnt really a living house was a watermill.
so wonderful picture…..I love it!!
Being overgrown with vines adds some warmth to the cold stones. -In more ways than one.

batttered and decayed
lets in light through chinks
that time has made”
Congrats!
Peace lives there!
Thank God for places like that!
