Over the last 30 years, I’ve watched this farm give itself back to nature,
to time.
Every year the colors of her walls fade further into grey as the land around her bursts with a myriad of green.
It’s an admirable thing, giving yourself to the elements and to time. You show wear and tear, you show weathering but never quite withering.
Our flourish, our color, our life gradually passes on to those we encounter over time. Making everything around us bright and alive.
These buildings haven’t been overtaken by time, the vines don’t diminish them.
I find incredible comfort in places like this. Places otherwise forgotten. I find them in perfect balance.
moments at peace.
