You gotta admire the ingenuity of mankind don’t you. I wonder what they used it for, a tool shed? Anyway it’s a unique and interesting image you have here. I’m pleased to have seen it. Merry Christmas Verena.

I'd say an outhouse...hee hee...Don't have a clue, but this photo is terrific!

Probably a fantasy playhouse for kids, once upon a time. Now a great photographic subject. And this is a great photograph.

Haha! What a cool idea! I actually thought it was an old outhouse too! Great shot Verena!..=]

Now here is a target that makes it hard for the photographer to fail. But there are of course elements that can be done wrong. And you haven't.
Composition eases the eye, the actual target is given the size it demands as the single most interesting object in the scene.
Only thing I could complain about is the wire running behind the shack, it cuts away the feeling of freedom. But that is something you can't do anything about.
And besides, when I think about it, it does look like it belongs. The wire, I mean.
I'll give this a niner.

Wonderful image some one had some ingenuity when they did it. I give it a ten thanks for sharing that picture

I agree, the wire belongs. All else well also well deserving of the 10/10.

And I see the beginnings of a new tree inside. Makes me wonder what it will look like in a ten years with the old one wraped around it like a skirt with a door in it. A beautiful and original find

This is a wonderful image, very special. I like old stuff like this. What was this tree-house ment to be? ..an outhouse, or something else? Have you more old houses to share with us? / HJ

oooh, I love it! Where did you find that picture?? It seems that you really have to look to find such a masterpeace....Great Job

Kev

What a strange and interesting thing. I really like this picture. It's something I'd like to see for myself!

Well, I'll tell ya what, somebody sure has a sense of humor. I would say is has been done to look like an outhouse. It's not? I wouldn't want to step inside that "tree trunk".
A truly unique find. and a good clear, sharp capture of it.

I really love it, beats the modern day architecture because its natural

...and when they were finished building it they stood back and thought that this was a job well done: and for a while it was, but now it is just left to the ages.

wow, that is awsome. whoever thought of doing that was very artistic. It's very nice :)

Verena honey.........This owd bugger has been going through your gallery!.........I came across this one I had never seen afore!..........Soon as I saw this...it was downloaded onto my HD for prosperity!........I absolutely adore it!....It has it all!....quality...colour....great composure....and a bit of fun in it too!....lovingly presented...........goes straight into my 'keepsake' files...!

"If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the Tree Shack!"
I wonder how its holding up? Probably better than me!

Verena, this is one of my most favorite photos on the net! I saw this 2 or 3 yrs ago and downloaded it, printed it and was considering using it for an ink drawing! That was before I got intersted in photography and was just downloading photos from Caedes to use as desktops or consider for drawings. Since I now know who posted this, cause I lost the other one, would it be ok with you if I did use it for a drawing? It might never happen but want to ask. How big was the interior of the shack? Was it really a hollowed out tree? Was there anything else inside? So cool! And I just noticed that you are a poet also! You are really talented! I'd like to read a poem! Amazing how people meet, isn't it! I don't believe in accidents! You have a great day tomorrow! Allen
