Some old pictures

Our history on our farm is very short. The former owners had a bigger history going back to the seventies. Before that it’s empty, a white page. But sometimes there are some nice little things that pop up. So are there 2 old photonegatives from our farm taken from the air. We got them from the former owner. There is a black and white negative from June 1949 and there is colournegative from somewhere in the sixties we guess. With some tricks with our camera and my free image program I could get a nice view of the content of both negatives. 

The black and white one is the most interesting one because this picture is from the longest ago. On that one we can see the old dunghill. This one doesn’t exist anymore. Also the old garden is partially visible. There were much more bushes and trees in that garden. But it seem to be fruit trees. The side was a simple hedge. Now it’s an overgrown border with quite some nice things in it. But the fruit trees have reduced quite a lot or better changed place to the backside of the garden.

The buildings don’t seem to be so much changed.

Zooming in to our courtyard there is, hardly recognisable, a thing that looks like an old tractor. A person seems to be behind it. 

The door to the basement, which is just restored, is visible too at the right.
