What a beautiful place, and interesting construction. Would that be an open fireplace, heating in both directions, or might the smaller section we’re looking at be an addition? In any event, it took about two seconds of looking at it for me to remember this old classic.
That lone cabin does epitomize the frailty and the temporal nature of Man in the presence of nature, does it not? At the same time it also seems to salute Man’s conviction to continue to push his own boundaries….
I remember you were interested in the Indian tribes. This photo was taken on the Flathead Indian Reservation. There is a lot of beautiful country there and the reservation is quite large, 1,938 square miles.
It would be so awesome to spend a few weeks in a remote house like this one. Just me and my thoughts, some time to reflect and soak up all that I have learned. Everybody needs a bit of solitude time and again.
Gorgeous!
