Old shed
Walking in the countryside near Lonneker, The Netherlands, I spotted this old shed. From its construction I can tell it's old, but what I can't tell is why it wasn't removed. Somebody even went through the trouble of making a fence around it. Anyway, I love these casual remnants of past times:

You can tell from the photo how it was built: an oak beam structure, the open areas filled with woven willow withies. These would have been sealed with loam, but that hasn't survived.

I have no idea what this shed was once used for, but I do like looking at such things and ponder.

mooi!
zo onvoorstelbaar mooi - die foto!
That's a pretty substantial little structure! It shows how important a good roof is, lol. It is surprising that they haven't at least removed the fence. There must not be others around that are similar. Old farm mysteries! : )
Resteemed and followed, these are very interesting
Thank you. I have accumulated quite a few photos of old and/or derilict buildings, I'm considering doing a repost of all of them in a single post.
Very cool, I also really like photographing old structures like that, nice job!!!
Thanks!
Great photo's!
I do love abandoned buildings, always makes me wonder why they were left to rot?
Thanks! I don't know why they are just left there, but I know of one such sheds that had been built by somebody's great-great-grandfather, and he couldn't bring himself to removing it, even though it was in the way.
I love these kinds of things. Maybe the owner of the land likes it too much to take it down :-)
Let's hope so!
Cool. It looks like you would have made a great guide for my bicycle ride. I was just a few 100 metres from this location.
Next time, bring a side cart!
I already have a trailer. Plans are for August September 2017
Put a nice, comfy seat in the trailer, and I'll show you around 8-).
