The Romanian Village Museum consists of village buildings carted to the museum grounds from all over Romania, to illustrate and preserve the country's culture prior to urban development. It is certainly a tourist destination but more so it's for the citizens themselves and especially schoolchildren, to show what Romania was in the not-so-distant past.

On the harbourside at this location is the B-listed 18th century Harbourmaster’s House. This was refurbished in 2006 and houses the headquarters of Fife Coast and Countryside Trust. Seen in Dysart, Fife, Scotland.
Behind, at top left, is St. Serf's Tower. This is a six-storey church tower dating from circa. 1500. The tower is the only remaining part of the long-gone church.
The Firth of Forth can be seen behind in the background.

At the right edge of the image can be seen the art work entitled "Sea Beams" by Donald Urquhart. The Firth of Forth can be seen behind it here. The art work is made up of nine oak beams (each was cut from a single tree). The colours of the beams mirror colours seen in photographs of the Firth of Forth in different lighting conditions.

This is a "full frontal" composition:orthogonal and centered relative to the frame.
The front of the building actually faces north. This south facing facade receives full daylight creating shadows that accentuate the window openings and roofline.
I purposely took the shot in early spring when trees are not in full leaf but have a tinge of green.
