Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'The Inside of the House' (Part #216)
'The Inside of the House'
The surrounding is great, let's what is inside this place. The first thing I see is the wood stove. They probably use the thing. I doubt they'd let it take so much space if there was no real use for it. It might be the only source of heat in winter times. No gas heating in remote areas.
An old petroleum lamp. I didn' have much chances to see it actually lit in my life but I like the quality of light it gives if properly cleaned. Not that I like the smell and soot coming from it. It can also be well used as a film prop when filming pre-electricity scenes.
When I look closer at the old stove, it doesn't look that old. After more examination I decide that is was custom made to look old. That was done right, the stove fits the space, even though it takes the place of another table. I guess most of the guests prefer to sit outside, anyway. The inside is a spare solution, except in cold and windy weather.
Firewood, ready... The stove is definitely being used.
I notice there is a place dedicated to local home produce. Some honey, jam, tea all neatly packed. This is way healthier to eat than any industry processed food one buys in the supermarket. The need for lower prices brought along a ton of chemistry one is not to eat if wants to stay healthy. These things they put in what they call food kill slowly, meticulously for decades, not letting people find the real reason behind their illnesses. This is how food industry helps the pharmaceutical industry grow. A vicious circle of profit and pain.
Oh, this I love. Old box radios always have a wow vibe. I still keep the one which belonged to my grandmother. I remember liking the white noise coming from it before granny tuned some shortwave station in some, for me, unknown language. The crazy thing from the forties/fifties still works. Well, I cheated a bit there, several years back I took it to an old guy for partial refurbishing. It looks pretty cool sitting on top of my wardrobe.
Enjoy your day! :-)

This post of yours @velimir is like a blast from the past. Your series are awesome. This time, as always the way you took the photos, gives extra drama to it. Its like It transported me back to our old granda house. The radio, the wood, the lamp and the coal flat iron are things when added together gives such impact. Lot's of emotions, It even gave me a flashback of the happy days with my folks.
ha ha ha... good
How cool! I love the new stove in the old space, and I love the feel of wood heat in general. I don't love getting up in the middle of the night to stoke the stove :)
I remember kerosene lights. My parents were electrified before I came along, but power was prone to going out, especially in winter. The smell and the look are warm feelings for me.
And I remember the radio. My parents didn't get TV until 1954 when I was 3. But the radio could explore the world! My Dad had a crystal set (not the box radio that sat on the counter and lived on a regional station) that he could tune with two knobs. We could get Cincinnati Reds home baseball games, they were our home team until the Dodgers moved west in 1957 and put their top farm team in Spokane, Wa. We could then hear all the games from either team!
Thanks for another delightful walk down memory lane.
Hiii...
look at my photos.

The best Art so far <3 <3 <3
Look at these old items that straight a way took me to my childhood. Oh Man that Petroleum Lamp My Grandmother used lit up in her house after getting the dark and we as young kids were supposed to refill it's fuel by a nearby shop if it gets finished ;)
That Old Radio reminds me of my Great Grandfather who bought such a gadgetry from JAPAN and used to listen News and programs on it with loud distortion ha ha ha :D
That stove is not a new thing for me until late 1990s we had such a stove in our another house in which used to put woods to get it's Fire ;)
Well Thank You so so much My Great Friend @velimir by sharing these amazing Photos to relive those moments of my life :) :)
Stay Blessed, Steem On!

Turkiye's warming gases in some places still do. stove is being used. I love this dangerous but authentic air. the voices of his departure and the light that hits the red ceiling!
I looked at your photos and remembered the old ones, and this made me feel longing.
thank you for your nice share
i am always wondering that where we got wrong..i do not know that why we left this simplicity and hugged this sort of complex life style..even though it is said that advancement in technology has made lives easier..i feel it in the opposite way..it has made our lives more complex :)
