Some photos from a walk around an old pig farm

in Photography Lovers10 months ago

It has gone cold again this week where I live. I have often passed by this place many times and never bothered to take any photos.

There seems to be some debate around who first said 'the best camera is the one you have with you'. Well the one I had with me today is an old iphone and also my only camera. So that is what I have used for the shots.

I am shortly reminded that where I live the hustle and bussle of every day live is never far away. A train heading towards Drax (A power station) passes by, The wagons proudly inform you its renewable energy. I wounder how bio mass transported all the way from North America to the UK can count as Enviromentally friendly bio mass. Sometimes it can be a mad world if you think about things too much.

Really old fence posts are scattered about and I wounder how long some of them have been here, and how long it will take them to completley rot away. In the first photo below you can see a secound fence that is alot more recent and just how thin the newer fence posts are. I guess even fence posts suffer from inflation and smaller sizes !

Heres one of the out buildings. From what I am lead to believe it was not used to store pigs. They are old pigeon lofts. It used to be a a popular pastime when I was much much younger. Basically they'd breed homing pigeons. Someone would come collect pigeons from different places and then drive to the other side of the country and release them. Owners would score the pigeons on how quickly they'd return home. Kinda like crows on a game of thrones.

Ive no idea what this was, an old building site office maybe. Also I have idea how it has ended up here

Here is an old steel container and a very old fork. I do wonder what the forks last job was and how long its been abandoned there.

Pigsty buildings
These next photos show the old pigsties as well and the old silos that were used to store grain to feed the pigs. I could not get any good photos of the pigsties as they were massively over grown with brambles. The last photo in the set is probably the best.

These next couple of photos remind me of all those apocalypse movies and shows you see on tv. I love how the land is claiming its own space back
