The idea of time and patience is beautifully captured here, in the building construction & design, the signs of slow decay, and the implied stoicism of the men and their dogs. Generations have passed without anything in this photograph really changing at all. It's also interesting that the two men sit together by also a little apart; familiar but still slightly disconnected. I am reminded of the Balkans.

Well composed. Wish the subjects were a bit closer in the frame. Looks good in black and white.

6 - ..the cows to come home, or could be the sheep, or the goats - either way, like the 'old country' feel to this and especially like the dogs.

I love this. What a powerful documentary photo! One of the BEST! For some reason, the dog just makes it for me. One of my favorites and highesr rates photos here.

Love the dog that seems to be giving you a questioning look. Interesting subjects that leave me wondering.

I heard the old, old men say,
'Everything alters,
And one by one we drop away.'
They had hands like claws, and their knees
Were twisted like the old thorn-trees
By the waters.
I heard the old, old men say,
'All that's beautiful drifts away
Like the waters.'
- william butler yeats

I see them sitting there and can almost hear their conversations that surely would have to begin with "I remember when...". Are they brothers? Cousins? Friends who've shared an entire lifetime together? There would be no shortage of stories to fill their days...
