The Old Homestead and Barn
Sep 15, 2014 19:44:45 #
For over a hundred years I sheltered your family, and kept you warm and dry. I stood against the elements and held on as long as I could while you and your children left me to stand alone' The barn held your animals to provide you with sustenance and warm clothes. I held them together and sheltered them from the cold and snow in the winter, for the past 3 years my back has been broken and I have lost my strength. I can stand no longer. In June 2014, the old barn gave way, I took photos of it for over 3 years just knowing it would not be there when I returned but it was. It sagged like you see for three years, but it held, it is now a bare spot in the grass

Thanks for the story and photos...really enjoyable.
I did similar photos for many years of an old swayback barn near Ten Sleep, WY. It, too, ended up as a pile of barn wood after one particularly rough winter. One day I will dig out those photos and post them. Thanks for the inspiration!

Very interesting shots and narrative, Tad.
Thanks Linda !! I hope someday to get back to Maine and shoot the little fishing villages etc. I shot Booth Bay and Bar Harbor back in 88 and the Portland Head Light House. (hope that's right, memory is down to a kilobyte)

Thanks for the compliment on the avatar. I found that one on the web some years ago. All I did was touch in my glasses, sort of make it a bit more personal.
