Wondering what could I have in my Vintage colection ,I stumbled upon few photographs, in my phone gallery. Looking at them it refreshes many of my old memories.
It is an object or place that represents a previous era or time period in human society. An item should be at least 100 years old to be defined as an antique and not less than 20 years, to falls under the term vintage.
Infactt, the real fun of photography, starts when looking at them reminds you of many stories and moments.
My vintage photographs were never shared anywhere and I never imagined using them here. But now here are few of my Vintage* collection which are very much related with me.
My Ancestors home.
I never get a chance to live in these but this is one of the oldest structure or say where my Dad spent many years. Made up of Mud with mud tiles upon them. These are still safe and now used as cattle shed. Might it look as a haunted or scary but trust me it still has many occupants.
The Well
This one was dugged many years ago by my forefathers, and was only source of water till we get into hand pump and electric motor. Thone is used to pull water through hand. There was no pulleys used, and it took a lot of effort in doing so. One of reason why village people are more physicaly active.
The Coal "Chulha"
Even in many remote areas, you will able to find these types of stove or call it Chulha on the road side. Mostly the tea seller uses this. You might notice the kettle and tea pot around the burning coal. I was about to make a seperate post on it, aa I found many others photographs.
Plum Bob
Frankly, I need to google on to find the real name of it. Quite a common tool with the mason who were busy with the construction work. They use to easily make measurement using the tools, which I still need to figure out. This is still a vintage tool, considering evern after so many development, the tool is still quite popular.
It is always important to preserve the vintage collection, as it posses many priceless memories. As I have been doing over the years. The picture does reminded of many past moments. And made me happy.
Infact I am thankful to @qurator for coming up with idea of "Vintage" for the Photo Quest Competition. This is my entry to the competition.
Stay Home.....Stay Safe!!

Interesting vintage items and structures. Out of all of these, I have only seen a well that looks similar to that, in real. The rest, I have only seen on television and some old movies.
Hahah...I spend few night inside that structure afterall it was one of my parental home. Imagine living inside without any electricity...must be a haunted feeling..😉 who can dare that...
Oh, this place is interesting to me because of its difference from the houses of Ukraine and at the same time I see kinship. For example, a well! I live in the village in the summer and take water from a well dug by my ancestors.
