Last weekend we visited friends who live in the country. I made photo’s of these old farmhouses . I like the form of these houses. The roofs are built like a pyramid. I can’t find the proper English word for it. There are many of these farmhouses in the north west of our country.
And I have another sunrise I want to show you.

Terrific captures, Riet!! Incredibly beautiful, colorful skies and I love the old farmhouses! A great photograph story indeed! Have a lovely weekend!
Mijn opa en oma woonden vroeger in een stolpboerderij in een klein dorpje in de buurt van Enkhuizen, prachtig daar!
Prachtige boerderijen.
Fijn weekend, Groet, Marjonel
Dit zijn hele mooie boerderijen, Riet! Volgens mij zie je dit soort ook veel in Noord-Holland!
Lieve groet, Ingrid
Ein prächtiges Anwesen, ganz tolle Fotos...

Oh,wat lijkt het me heerlijk om in zo een mooie boerderij te kunnen wonen,prachtige foto's zijn dit weer:)
Liefs,Sonja
Beautiful shots!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Beautiful sky, Riet, and the farmhouses are wonderful, - just think of all the attic space in that type of roof!
O jaaaa, prachtig dit soort boerderijen lieve Rietje, bij ons in het noorden zijn er ook heel erg veel van te vinden. Ook intern zijn ze fantastisch, allemaal grappige kamertjes en veelal een mooie woonkeuken. Een speciaal sfeertje proef je altijd in zo'n prachtige boerderij.
En wat lees ik nu, weer een heerlijke cruise maken, SUPER, zal je missen lieverd, maar wens jullie een heerlijke week toe.
Liefs

Prachtige Hollandse plaatjes, genieten! Wat heerlijk dat je gaat cruisen, daar kun je vast ook lekker tea-en. Geniet ervan, lieve groet
Riet, I loved seeing the old farmhouses and the sunrise is beautiful. Happy skywatching!
We don't have a lot of farmhouses built like this in the U.S.A. Very nice sunsets too.

prachtige foto,s heb je weer geschoten en zo mooi om die oude boerderijen te zien in verschillende modellen.
en wat een mooie zons ondergang.
fijn weekend en groetjes van an
The sunrise is beautiful and it's fun to see the farm houses from your country.
Beautiful! I love the farmhouses, someday I will have one!
What a beautiful sunset! That is quite an interesting house.
wat een schitterende huizen om te zien riet,
als je zelf maar een klein huisje hebt, lijken het wel paleizen,
toch ben ik blij met mijn paleisje:-)
Good Morning Dear
Great photos of your outside country ! It seems that you had a wonderful day there !
Olympia
What a gorgeous sky!
Schitterende foto,s Riet.
Vind die lucht zo mooi,die kleuren,echt geweldig.
Liefs Riet.
Lovely photographs. I like that building, very interesting shape.
Your photos are always amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Have a nice weekend! :)
Zonsondergangen werken altijd!
Vooral ze zo mooi op foto geplaatst zijn!

Lovely pictures - those houses look great with their unusual roofs.
I hope you enjoy your cruise, I've never been on one myself but it sounds great. :))
Thank you for visiting us on "Les Fous du Cap" and to have left a few words. We also love your blog and your photos ;-)

Mooie boerderijen zijn dat, echt hollands, heb ze nergens anders gezien.
Beautiful farmhouses....I'm also linking with Friday's Fences.
Very nice homes...beautiful scenes with the skies so colorful!
Beautiful skies! Those houses are interesting with their pointed roofs! I'd hat to have to re-roof one of those!
those are such neat houses! and a pyramid is exactly how i'd have described it, too.
visiting from green day today again. :)
Gorgeous sunset! Happy sky watching.
Rain
wow, that sunset is amazing. great views. (:
Uma mais linda que a outra! beijos,chica(do Brasil)
I like the shapes of the roofs on the farmhouses. Beautiful sky shot too.
quelle magnifique maison ;o)
Very nice homes, and lovely reflections !
Hi Riet,
They have what looks like a pyramid roof! Beautiful photos! I love old farmhouses with creaky floor boards and peeling paint. My grandparents had a two storied farmhouse with an upstairs, how I loved going there. Two of the bedrooms were connected by one big walk in closet that we used to play in. Oh the fun we had in there hiding and playing games. :)
Have a great weekend!
Dat is echt een mooie boerderij, Riet.
Maar die sprookjesachtig mooie zonsopkomst steelt vandaag de show.
Maak er een mooi weekend van.
Dat is mooi wonen daar, Riet.
Fijne serie heb je weer gemaakt... ook de sunrise is heel mooi!
Fijn weekend.
Lieve groetjes van Anna
Those roofs would shed the snow so easily, no matter which way the wind blew it! And they are so interesting, as well!
The sunrise is simply breathtaking!!
Like a fairytale!!
I'd say that "pyramid" is a good word to describe this type of roof. These houses look lovely and quaint. Your sunset shot is gorgeous!
Olá,
Lindas fotos onde a natureza está feliz!!!
Deus te cubra de bênçãos e e te faça feliz!!!
Abraços fraternos de paz
Lovely, swirling movement in your sky shot, and the farm houses by the river make me think of all the stories inside those walls.
beautiful home, I like the design too
your skies are amazing
You make beautiful collages! It's a lovely home.
Have a great time on your cruise -- take pictures!!!
What unique architecture! The sunrise is beautiful.
Marvelous shots!
Those roofs are extraordinary, I have never seen ones like that before. The sunrise is beautiful. I seldom ever see a sunrise as we have a couple of houses in the way. May be I should get up early and go walking :) Take care and have a good weekend. Diane
Good Morning Riet,
Thanks for linking up once again with Green Day.
I am sorry that I have not been around for the last week or so
but I have my Mum staying with me at the moment and feel guilty
if I don't give her my time and so haven't been on the computer much.
Hope all is well with you.
I will have so much catching up to do
when Mum goes home that it will take me until Christmas
to get through all the posts I have missed!
Have a lovely holiday
a cruise sounds wonderful - enjoy

Mooie plaatjes, prachtige boerderijen, ook veel in Noord-Holland inderdaad.
Fijn weekend,
Fantastic series of photos.
Darryl and Ruth :)
I know what you mean about not being able to find the right word Riet--and I'm supposed to since speak English. This is one reason that I want to keep on with blogging and other social media as grow older. Keep your mind active to have to organize thoughts in print.
As for the house shape--no idea what this style of architecture is called--looks like an open floor plan with some sky lights? Do you get enough snow in the Netherlands that the roof would need to be that pitched?
Enjoy your travels. Hope you see many beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the water. I'm right behind you the first of Sept. :-)
Amazing houses. So interesting in their design! And you took some great photos!
Lieve Riet, fijne vakantie, GENIET!!!
En ik ben wel nieuwsgierig wat er nou mis was met jou reaktie op mijn post 010/020, ik vond het wel grappig van je!
We zullen je missen bij de High Tea bij madelief.
Liefs
Lia
I love the pointed roofs on the houses, Riet-- very picturesque!
What lovely countryside scenes.
Prachtige boerderijen Riet. Ik hoop dat ik nog op tijd ben om je een goede vakantie toe te wensen. Heel veel plezier en kom veilig weer terug. We zullen je missen tijdens de tea!
Liefs van Madelief x
wat een mooie boerderijen,en zo mooi op de foto gezet,ben gek op die oude boerderijen,binnen zijn ze meestal ook heel oud.
lieve groetjes greet
The farmhouses are quite interesting with the symetrical steep roofs. I think that pyramid is a good description and I am not sure what we would call that type of roof.
It would surely have much attic space for a special room!
Bises,
Genie
Hello Riet, I have had company and tomorrow I will be driving 3 hours to go the the airport for my friend's flight home. We are country people too.
I love the farm house so much. Your description of the roof is perfect. There isn't a better English word for the roof. Smile. The photos are charming and I know you had a lovely time with your friends.
Have a wonderful cruise Riet. We sure are looking forward to our cruise this Dec. I am still hoping for us to meet in Amsterdam.
I have had a wonderful and very busy summer. I'm afraid I have not visited much on my blog and I have missed you.
xo, Jeanne
Dag Riet,
Zag aan de datum van je laatste blogbericht dat je nog heerlijk vakantie hebt. Aan het weer zal het niet liggen. Geniet er van. We zien later je mooie foto's wel weer!
Lieve groet, Marja
