How old do something or someone have to be, to be ancient..?
When I started school at age 6, the teachers were ancient – they were in their 30s.
When we previously sat in my filled kitchen and drank coffee in the afternoon
while I had a good time with my son and all his friends
they told about their ancient parents, so these parents were often younger than me.
What is the difference between closed, abandoned or left behind..?
Now a days there seems no difference while also the world of a difference.
Abandoned things often become fashionable and sometimes even work better
– than before it was abandoned.
The inspiring cause of this thoughtfulness drawn from:
Weekly Photo Challenge “Abandoned“
Travel Theme “Ancient“
…
I like teachers the most.

Probably not always easy being a teacher I guess… 🙂 🙂
Thoughtful post Drake, still thinking about it!

Thanks a lot, so glad you say so – really appreciate your words… 🙂
Brilliant photos, as always, Drake. I think that is the first time I have seen one of those beautiful thatch and half timbered houses, abandonded! I have to ask: are these photos taken in Denmark? The ‘mølle’ is stunning!

Thanks a lot, so glad you like them – really appreciate your words… 🙂
The 1st is from the North York Moor area
the 2nd is an abandoned sanatorium north northeast of Stoke on Trent.
the 3th is from the small danish island of Læsoe (Læsø)
the 4th is the mill located on the danish island Samsoe (Samsø)
the 5th is from Samsoe too…
🙂
Ah, thanks. Samsø: the flagship of the solar/alternate energy revolution!
and knowing now that the 2nd photo is a sanatorium makes it a little more creepy!
I love it, Drake, that comment about your teachers made me laugh out loud!

I see the mill every time I vistit my old parents, it’s located next to their home – funny to see the changes during the year – change of the weather and the surroundings, the mill itself is still the same… 🙂

Thanks a lot – it’s the mill next to where my old parents live – the small danish island Samsø (Samsoe) – the mill is from Netherland and was rebuild on the present position in 1899 – it was active until the late 1950s… 🙂

A thought-provoking question there, indeed, when is something old or ancient? It depends on the POV, I guess. Loved the train shot and that little red car shot. Looks like there’s lots of stories to tell from them.
Have a great weekend! 🙂

Nice shots. I like to think that age brings character. And wisdom. And a few aches and pains!
#.elisa
Agree with you and added the old phrase “never to old to learn” – so it would be perfect… 🙂
