Small architecture

I have always been impressed by tiny buildings and objects in remote rural places , build in the past and still thriving . Mini substitutions of parallel objects build in the urban space , but looking differently somehow .

You can spot such objects on the edges of human civilisation , where small clusters of settlement exist. And because in those places cultural centres have always been remote , people didn't travel long distances , local culture could thrive in some kind of endemic form . Desolate communities have always created their own forms of folklore .


In separated communities there was no need for splendid big objects. Living closely to the nature , people didn't need waste their sources for making sth. in excess . So they build small chapels and churches , small schools and joints , tiny bridges . Everything had to be functional at first , I think .So that's the reason I am fascinated with such rural old buildings and countryside human civilisation - the simplicity and intimacy with the nature , supernatural world .

So I am really amazed when coming across such objects in scottish countryside , sometimes it seems that they are unreal- there is no civilisation miles around , just stay as the sign of the past time .Sometimes in small villages deep in Highlands ,where people live mainly periodically during tourist season.Nicely maintained  this rural buildings stay undisturbed .
