Pictures from an Abandoned Farm












We took the dogs for a long walk this afternoon over to an old, abandoned farm on a hilltop. The farm is owned by the owner of Kevin's company, but due to strict laws in Norway restricting the use and sale of farm land, it has been deteriorating for years. It's kind of sad to see such old buildings falling apart, but it is a nice place to go for a walk and get a pretty bird's eye view of Gjøvik and the lake.

    Ah, it reminds me of when I use to wander around the farmland south of you in Ullensaker (look at a map). You don't find many abandoned farms like that in Norway, but I suppose they have a fair share.

    BTW - Primate of the week is back. ;)
