The buildings of the farm date from slightly different periods in the 18th- & 19th-centuries. This style of the turf construction was universal in rural areas of Iceland until about 1900, when it was gradually replaced mainly by reinforced concrete, which is typical in most contemporary Icelandic construction today. Extensive turf construction evolved in Iceland owing to the acute shortage of large trees.
Hence the buildings at Glaumbær are comprised of thin shells of wood separated from one another and insulated by thick walls of turf, and roofed with a thick layer of the same material. Icelandic grass grows very thickly, consequently the turf is a strong and enduring combination of roots and soil. A turf building, in districts of moderate rainfall, can last up to a century. The roof must be sloped at the correct angle; if it is too flat, water leaks through and if it is too steep, the turf cracks during spells of dry weather or drains too quickly so the grass does not grow, both resulting in a roof that leaks. The old Icelandic farm was a complex of small separate buildings. The most frequently used were united by a central passageway, while tool & storerooms could only be reached from the outside.
We visited Slaughter Pen Farm yesterday.

18x24" original oil painting by Terry Owensby. This scene reminds me of the old farms that were around when I was growing up.
It was crazy bright and sunny when I took this picture, and about 30 seconds after I was finished packing this all back up and inside, it started raining. Whatever, weird June. Anyway, our haul this week was more than our one trug could handle -- two huge boc choys, two bunches of collards, two bunches of kale, nine zucchinis, 30 scapes, one head of radicchio, one bunch of turnips, four heads of lettuce, and six heads of broccoli.

How many ways can you shoot a sunflower farm? Ten, at least! ;)
The fine folks at Kricklewood sunflower farm offered up their field to photographers, but requested the donation of one work for a fundraiser for the The Table community food cupboard in Perth. I love this idea! Any votes for a favourite? I have no idea which one to submit!
