This week’s Tiny House in a Landscape is a little unusual. Normally, this feature tends to cover homes in a country setting and and not a cityscape. Manifest Destiny by Jenny Chapmand and Mark A. Reigelman 11 is an art installation. The wooden cabin is affixed precariously to the side … Read more

Tiny House in a Landscape

This week’s Tiny House in a Landscape was taken by a fellow tiny house enthusiast Hugh Wolfe. Hugh has become a friend via the Tiny House Blog Google+ social network. I have discovered that Hugh and I share some common interests. Hugh is a very good photographer and enjoys shooting old buildings in Texas where he lives. I also enjoy photography. Hugh also is a Mini Cooper buff and enjoys driving his while out shooting pictures. I am a big Mini fan and have the car on my wish list. Anyway, enough of that and back to today’s photo. Although it is not a house but a barn, I think it can provide us with inspiration.

Hugh says: Late Saturday afternoon I was headed home from a day of shooting and spotted this Lilliputian barn off to the left up on a small rise with nothing around it except for a few trees. After having a look at the original I decided to experiment with NIK Softwares Silver Efex Pro 2 converting to B&W and then selectively adding in color.

I’ll have to make another visit soon as I’d like to catch the morning light from the opposite side. For those interested here is the location per Google Maps, 33.342473,-96.809085, just north west of Celina, Texas.

Thanks Hugh for sharing these photographs. Please continue to take more.

Tiny House in a Landscape

This week’s Tiny House in a Landscape is a little different. It is a tiny house under construction in a landscape. The photograph was taken by Dave Stonehouse of StoneHouse Woodworks in the Rockies of British Columbia, Canaada. Dave says: I live in Golden, British Columbia in the Rocky Mountains. The picture of the cabin under construction is actually in my back yard. We have a couple of acres. My company is Stonehouse Woodworks. I build log and timber cabins, do finishing carpentry, and build furniture (pretty much anything with wood).

You have to wear a few hats to stay busy in a small town, but I’ve always managed to.

Thank you Dave. I plan to feature this cabin again when it is completed, so, readers stay tuned.
