This is the Oldest Photo on my Phone. It features an old farmhouse consisting of three buildings in the quaint little village of Slagerstad. The three small one-story buildings form a sort of square with two large trees in the middle. The building in the middle, furthest from the camera, serves as the living quarters, made of red-painted wood with a lime-washed foundation. The buildings to the left and right are constructed from mason and limewashed materials.

I was captivated by the vibrant colors of the cobalt blue low wooden gate in the foreground against the backdrop of the century-old farmhouse. These buildings, with their simple yet beautiful architecture, lack excessive decorations but exude a unique charm.

The photo was taken on a day when my friend and I had just visited my cousin Carina and her fiancé Åke. We were on our way back to my parents' home in Mörbylånga, Öland, where we were staying. Öland is known for its limestone formations, and as a result, most buildings are constructed from limestone, making wooden structures like the one in the photo more distinctive. This farmhouse doesn't appear to be a working farm but may have been converted into a regular residence or a vacation home.

The photo evokes a sense of quiet and almost a deserted feeling. We saw no one around, adding to its serene atmosphere. My aspiration is to own one of these charming houses in the future.
