I like the parallelism between the bare trees and the "bare" barn.
End of "season" for both.

Nice shot. To me it seems as though the silo has withstood Time and Mother Nature much better than the barn
If I'm correct is there a reason for this?

That silo is probably made out of concrete blocks. I've also seen them made from bricks, It's hard to tell from the picture which one was used here.

That would explain it. Thank you

Dear black mamba...
When I was a boy in the 1950's, my father bought an old farm in Eastern Kansas and I helped him assemble a used silo that he bought disassembled at a farm sale. It was made of concrete blocks and metal rings that went around the rows of concrete blocks, just like the ones in the picture. Tex hauled the parts to his farm nine miles Southeast from Fredonia, Kansas and we re-assembled the silo on weekends, driving from our home in Wichita, Kansas at dawn on Saturday mornings to Tex's farm. Sunday evenings at dusk we would drive back to Wichita where Tex ran his welding ship during the week. It is obvious to me that the silo in the picture is NOT made of brick.
