The family calls it ‘The Shed’ but it’s really a very large stable, packed to the brim with horse stuff, collected stuff and very old stuff.
Before my Pa retired he was a horse trainer and as kids we spent many a holiday in the shed. I have so many good memories of that place and my Pa’s love of horses really rubbed off on me.
I made sure that when I was home for Christmas, a trip to the shed was fitted in. It did not disappoint.
My Pa is quite the collector.

Beautiful. I do love a good shed, and this is defiantly a good shed!
Those are absolutely amazing pictures. They remind me of something out of the 50s. Love the black and white look, and it's such a captivating collection of pics!
Wonderful photos. Great memories!
Superb in black & white.
Beautiful photos . . . and I'm sure great memories for you. How fun!
Wow. With your first post you have already upped the bar on the black and white challenge!
These photos are wonderful. What a perfect subject for black and white photography. The contrast and textures are so beautiful. As is the underlaying story of your Pa's shed and love of horses.
My Pa had a big old shed too, full of hand tools and wood shavings, as he built boats in his spare time. As children we loved poking around in Pa's shed and investigating the shiny tools, rusty containers and wood off cuts.

LOVE the new header Kate!
My farmer boy has three sheds full of farm stuff like that. I wonder if I photographed them in b&w if they would look all romantic and arty and grainy like yours and less like hard work.
Gorgeous stuff!
Oh, wow. Grew up with horses and this post generated some very happy memories. Especially the bridles in a row. Lovely!!
Wow, great photographs. I am playing along with Christina's black and white theme too, but I have only posted one photograph. These are just great.
Love the black and white pics Kate. Gorgeous. xo
