Low in the landscape

I often drive past this old now unoccupied cottage near Ballyvary. It is typical of so many old cottages , isolated and lying low in the landscape, sheltered by the small hill behind it. I often wonder about the lives of the people who lived in these locations, which can look so idealic to the photographer, I bet life was hard.
On this occasion I thought the cottage looked particularly well due to the delicate blue sky behind it.
