My inspiration comes from wonderful “Restlessjo” and her “Monday walk” themes.
A walk back time often called the good old days – probably more our point of view.
In the good old days, they have their problems too.
An alsatian ‘walk around’ museum with both alive performers and working units.
It’s a museum village where the buildings are separated carefully where they were
only to be moved to this “village” and reassembled – stone by stone, as they were.
This guy he looks happy and for sure believed he was running the business.
No it wasn’t a saloon.
Old blue village house.
Old water mill in the late afternoon sun.
New made in old frames.
Guess the lady wait inside while her panties get sundried.
Carriage house with indoor gutter to collect rainwater in a bassin.
Old fashion works.
An old forge, the home of the old-time handyman.
At that time the blacksmith served as the village’s dentist too.
There was only one treatment in addition to maintain the teeth – that was pulled out.
The old barbershop – news focal point too.
Old sawmill.
Toothache – to bite into a fresh onion could keep the blacksmith away – maybe.

It all looks wonderfully authentic, Drake 🙂 I wish I hadn’t read that bit about dentists though. I have an appointment tomorrow. 😦

Wouldn’t answer before your dentist visit was history… 😀
So glad you enjoyed this walk
– a very fascinating ‘yesterday’ village… 🙂
She was rather a nice lady dentist, Drake. You would have liked her, but thanks for the kind thought. 🙂
Have no problems talking dentists – give them a smile
and so they say “you don’t make me rich”… 😀
I like very much this village-museum! I’m a nostalgic of the good old times… 🙂 Great pictures as usually dear Drake. Thanks for sharing all your travels, walks, rides, excursions… I can travel and dream a bit too, with you. 😉

Great post, Drake – love the pig!
#.richard
So glad you enjoyed this little walk – yes he was wonderful, hanging there – no doubt he believed he owned the entire business… 😀
You do get to see some very interesting places, Drake. The pig and the rather large ‘bloomers’ hanging out to dry realy made me smile. 🙂 Love the old water wheel image. Great post!

Very inspiring this museum village – didn’t see the owner of those ‘bloomers’ – not as I know – so glad you enjoyed this walk… 🙂
Billederne er dejlige, Drake, men dine medfølgende kommentarer redder aftenen 😀 Svinet, som har et øje på hver fing.. – Nåh nej 🙂
Desuden var jeg begyndt at forestille mig John Wayne komme stavrende ud til sin hest og redde kvinden, hvis tøj er draperet på snoren 🙂 🙂

Han var skøn, hængende ud af døren som om han ejede hele svineriet – jeg måtte også hen igen da jeg forlod museumslandsbyen – bare for at hilse af både for at sige tak fordi vi fik lov at gå rundt og tak fordi han gad ‘råbe’ efter os når vi overså noget… 😀
Drake – dit svar er uovertruffent 😀 🙂
I love these reminders of days gone by. Thanks for sharing these interesting photos.

Thanks, Drake!
Wonderful impressions.
