The old family farm - from a distance


I took this photo, from a distance, of the old family farm my maternal grandparents used to have.
I was there last time exactly 50 years ago.

It was a traumatic change for many of the family members when my grandparents had to move to another farm.

Since then the farm has been sold three times. Last time now in 2007.

These days such farms are so expensive, that only rich people buy them for their own pleasure.
Farming and making a living from agriculture are not the reasons for today's buyers.

So in order to attract those rich buyers, many photos of the farm were published on the internet.

In this case, that gave me a portofolio of professional photos for documenting family history.
