Stone Legs

This barn in my neighborhood has been sitting on these stone pilings since the day it was built. We rarely have earthquakes up here, but I fear a good one would be the end of it.
While I shot the barn, these young ladies were my audience. They followed me everywhere. While I was setting up the shot, the white face in the middle came up behind me and snuffled my back. When I turned around, she bolted.

Yes, the barn seems to be doing a fine job of holding up those piles of stones :) .

Good image. I wonder if the rocks were part of the original construction or,as I suspect, added when the wooden posts began to fail.Do you know when it was put up?

iDoc, you may very well be right. I have no idea of the age. This is old farm country and there are a lot of old barns like this with field stone foundations. But, usually they are continuous around the perimeter of the barn. This builder was taking a shortcut with stone pillars and posts.
Thanks for looking.

Love that second shot! I believe a certain "eat more chicken" fast food restaurant would like that one!

Thanks guys, the cows were funny. Totally harmless critters, used to people, just have to be careful they don't bump into you. They were very curious about everything I did.
