Thanks for the wishes, Frank and Akira.

Birna, interesting old wooden house. Is that like an entrance that has broken away?

John, I've never seen a flowering cypress before, very pretty. The whole tree must make quite a show.

Norwegian houses traditionally had (and many still have)  an entrance lock designed to prevent cold air from entering the living quarters. This dilapidated house is what is known as a "croft" in Ireland and Scotland and originates probably from late 1800's.

Wow, that would make it quite old for a wooden house. Thanks for the explanation.

I wanted to put one more before the month ends. Bar "Finland" in La Línea de la Concepción. Very far indeed.
