LITTLE FARM AT THE EDGE OF TOWN

I drove to the edge of the city that afternoon, on 29. October 2020, because a friend needed a lift to reach one of the last small farms in that suburban area …

… to feed some chickens and a cat there.

Another friend, who owns the place and lives nearby, had to go out of the city for a couple of days ...

... so we provided the basics for the animals during that period. You already saw quite a few chickens on these first few opening photographs ... and now ...

... here is the cat.

The area is fenced, but never locked, so kids from the neighborhood often visit the animals. Especially the cat, appreciates their company very much.

I'm a big fan of this kind of slightly messy places ...

img_2703_malo.jpg

... filled with a wide variety of interesting materials and makeshift stuff ...

... so I was relentlessly sniffing around ...

img_2728_malo.jpg

... in search of details and angles that can convey the rich atmosphere.

This little ruin was like some kind of capital building or a temple of the farm ...

img_2720_malo.jpg

... and inside ... under the wide, blue roof of the sky ...

img_2716_malo.jpg

... there was this old wood burning stove ...

img_2714_malo.jpg

... a nice and stylish touch in that empty room.

These are some lovely Chrysanthemum flowers ...

... that grew outside the garden wall of a house situated on the small side street that leads to the less rural cityscape.

The city is very near, you can see it here across the meadow fenced with thorny shrubs decorated with a lovely piece of nylon brought by the wind.

This is the recently finished general hospital of Pula, the largest hospital in the region.

This is an entrance to some small fenced field with various vegetables planted there ... like a small suburban garden detached from the house ... that is maybe not even a house, but an apartment in the city.

I like the design of this makeshift DON'T ENTER - PRIVATE PROPERTY sign very much.

img_4958_malo.jpg

There is always something interesting hidden in the grass by the road ... a small supermarket brochure with discount prices ...

img_4959_malo.jpg

... a self seeding flower ...

img_4960_malo.jpg

... or a colorful pack of cigarettes ... with no cigarettes inside.

img_4949_malo.jpg

This interesting tree also grew very near to the road.

img_4948_malo.jpg

It's a European field elm (Ulmus minor) ... small tree ...

img_4952i53i54_trostruko.jpg

... with interesting bark ...

img_4946_malo.jpg

... this snail has found a tranquil place on one of the branches. With the following shot ...

img_2696_malo.jpg

... I'm back on the little farm ...

img_2690_malo.jpg

... the main setting of this post ...

img_2723_malo.jpg

... I'm exploring the area ...

img_2715_malo.jpg

... followed by curious chickens.

img_4222_malo.jpg

I photographed these horses a bit further, near the neighboring farm ...

img_4213_malo.jpg

... they were enjoying the nice weather and plenty of green grass, two typical and highly enjoyable aspects of the early autumn.

img_4216_malo.jpg

I like the way in which the black horse stands by the van on this shot ... in a vaguely symbolic way ...

img_4220_malo.jpg

... like ready for the race against the machine. After this shot ...

img_2668_malo.jpg

... I noticed a large, well-developed fig tree at the edge of the field ...

img_2674_malo.jpg

... so I went there ...

img_2676_malo.jpg

... to sniff a bit under those branches ... that were slowly loosing their leaves.

img_2682_malo.jpg

I found a few dandelions there in the grass ...

img_2679_malo.jpg

... sparsely scattered around the tree ...

img_2683_malo.jpg

... some of them were in bloom ...

img_2684_malo.jpg

... while others were spreading the seeds. After portraying the dandelions ...

img_2673_malo.jpg

... I left the fig tree ...

... and returned to the little farm.

img_2700_malo.jpg

These fluffy white chickens were such a cute and interesting models ...

img_2693_malo.jpg

... like some "The Muppet Show" or "Sesame Street" characters ...

img_2687_malo.jpg

... so I just had to take more shots with them as protagonists.

Here you can see a friend of mine talking to the chicken.

img_4976_malo.jpg

Here is a look at the chimney of one on the neighboring houses ...

img_4975_malo.jpg

... here is a look at the more distant power line ...

img_2688_malo.jpg

... and now ...

img_2692_dvostruko.jpg

... with these last few chicken - shots ... is time to end the story. As always in these posts on HIVE, the photographs are my work - THE END.
