Artist's Comments

Wonderful old cookstove shot in an abandoned farmhouse in the RM of Great Bend , Saskatchewan ,Canada ...amazing it had not fallen through the floor into the basement as I had to tread very lightly to get the shot :)

Life is just waiting around for the next disaster. The only consolation is, one of these times it'll be fatal.

Is there some tread left on those tires, or is it just like throwing a hot dog down the hallway? Family Guy

This is cool. Just how many of these places are there up in your area?

Having to travel a little furthur all the time to find more , but there are quite a few within a 30 mile radius of my farm, most of these places were built by Ukrainian settlers between 1890 - 1910 as a quarter section of land was available for 10 $ at that time ..Thanks for your comment and interest

What a gorgeous stove. Can't help but snicker that there's still a can on it.
Maybe the stove stood just so that you could come and photograph it...

Wow, what a treasure. After photographing it, I'd be trying to figure out a way to get it into my Sportage and take it home. I love old things like this. Good thing you didn't end up falling through the floor - although that would make for a very interesting series, I'm sure... ;)

Wow, it would be wonderful if you could get that out of there. It would make a beautiful piece when restored. Wonder what's in the basement?
