Friday Five, treasures and a dream

Good Morning,

it's friday and time for Tanya's Willy Nilly Friday Five, Amy's Five on Friday

and Suzy Mae's Soulfood Friday

I

We had some frosty grey days here, but when the sun was coming, it was friendly and much warmer.

I am grateful that the sun has once more strength.

Here three random photos of an old factory.

I made the analog photos 15 years ago and have them scanned later.

Found them now randomly in my archive.

After the collapse of the GDR many factories were closed, dismissed the workers.

15-20 years they stood empty and fell into disrepair .

It was an exciting and inspiring time for me and many of my paintings and big textile wallpictures were created by the impressions of these ruins.

Meanwhile they have them all torn down, built parking places, supermarkets and office buildings, and Germany has become a decent but somewhat boring country.

I have many photos as memories of that picturesque period and they all are a big treasure for me.

Because the photos seem so monochrome, I'm linking up with Wendy's Simply Neutrals Tuesday

and Tom's Tuesday's Treasures next week

It was a really random week, without to much mess and trouble.

I could spend a few hours at my working desk for pleasure.

That is my most beloved time...

Two nights before I had a strange dream:

We took a trip through the States, my love and I.

And we came finally to Nebraska.

At the edge of a country road we saw a few big packets of stuff.

It looked like the were parked there a long time ago and no one would pic them up.

I saw: let's drive in this small way and we arrived by an abandoned farm house.

It was half built of stones and half with wood,

a little whimsical, but lovely.

The windows were knocked out, but it doesn't seem to be left too long.

Inside was a a big high room with a balustrade and a beautiful house altar. 
I can not describe it, but it was a very special atmosphere there.

Several doors led into small rooms and I realized the rooms and some forgotten

items in it - I had seen all this in the photos of a previous blogger.

I recalled everything and realized were she had lived.

Exactly here.

The barn was empty and all pictures came into my mind,

which I had seen exactly from here. Hens and a dog and cats...

I was barefoot, it was summer.

And I let my sweetheart drive on alone, I wanted to go on foot to the next farm

and to the nearest town and further and further and wanted to search her.

I knew I must to find her in real, whose tracks in the web are disappeared.

Her blog comes so often in my mind...

A young man with a backpack came over and I joined him,

because he had more local knowledge than me...

At last a nostalgic song, what I've liked since many years.

Have a great weekend all :-)
