This photo offers a glimpse inside a traditional Sardinian pinnetta, the shepherds' hut. The image is taken from the outside, looking into the dark and rustic interior of the structure.The entrance is framed by two sturdy, bark-stripped and time-worn tree trunks that serve as natural doorposts. Inside, the space is essential and functional: the floor is of beaten earth, and some stones are visible, likely arranged to form a hearth or a makeshift seat. In the center, a wooden log serves as a stool or a table, and a white bowl rests on some stones, testifying to a recent presence and use. The light filtering in from the entrance creates a strong contrast, emphasizing the sense of refuge and protection that the hut traditionally offers from the elements.
