An Old Barn About To Collapse

Used to climb around these old barns when we were kids, no more! When I see a structure like this I think of how cool the wind must sound blowing through all the gaps...

Great photos! I like photographing old structures like this. One good windstorm and they are lost forever, except for our photos. I photographed an old corn crib here in suburban Connecticut. I went by the place where it once stood and it's gone. They tore it down and are putting in another nondescript strip mall. Am I anti-progress? No, but I'd rather photograph an old corn crib with character than a nondescript strip mall!

Jederick. Outstanding image. Thanks for sharing. Do you possibly give tours of old barns in Utah?

Thanks and I know that feeling as I have photographed several old structures that are no longer with us. My last experience, which I posted here on the hog, was of an old barn that finally collapsed. That field is now being taken over by housing development...oh well!!

Really nice, jederick. The last one is excellent.
Thanks Ken, I always appreciate your positive comments. Had a hard time getting the photo angles I wanted because of fences and not wanting to trespass. Anyhow, as can be seen, this was the sunnier afternoon side.
This, to me, is a magnificent example of Americana that soon will no longer be around to rekindle old memories for a lot of us older folks.
