About two hours' drive from where I live, in the nearby mountains, there is a small plateau that does not even have a proper village. Just alpine pastures, a few mountain houses and lots of cows. Here and there survive small patches of moorland, partially protected from the boots of tourists, and these poor, centuries-old wooden cabins in which lumberjacks used to find shelter when they came up from the plains during the working season. Over time, these huts have been largely abandoned. Now it seems that the local government has bought them for preservation by renting them out to those who are committed to preserving them, but the state of preservation is not the best at the moment.
For decades these shacks were saved, overcoming two world wars, by replacing deteriorated parts piece by piece, like in the Ship of Theseus.
These photos show all the limitations of my camera: as soon as I use an aperture that is too open or too closed or when I use the zoom at its extreme values. I think I should abandon this point-and-shoot and go back to something more serious.
Any comments are welcome.
Post scriptum: the first photo depicts a toilet.
