The owner of this place had a field full of implements like these. He sold them all in one swoop.

I don't know why some city kids like me are so enamored of old barns, but I do like them a lot. Maybe it's my love of history, and how things were done before the computer age, that they remind me of. Nice job on this one.

It looks like the old barn is still pretty solid structurally. The roofing doesn’t look too hot so hopefully they will fix that before it goes bad. Once the roof starts leaking, it’s lights out in short order for old barns.

Looks a lot like the barn on my parent's old place. It's not there anymore. Nice set.

At one time there was a bath tub about half way down the side . It was sorta leaning against the barn . Horses drank out of it . Suppose a antique dealer got it . Good shot .

Hi, Terry.
I quit trying to fathom why I'm so attracted to barns, particularly those in some form of distress. I love history and I guess I hate to see so many barns, and other farm structures, just fade away...so to speak. A central player in the development of our country, providing food to the nation, the small farmer has seen his role greatly diminished. Along with that, his need for the tools of his trade ...barns, farming equipment, etc.,etc...also slackened considerably.
I committed myself years ago to record as many of these old farm structures, including the homes, as I possibly can before they are gone forever. To date, in my travels throughout the Appalachian, Smoky, and Blue Ridge mountains, I have captured hundreds of barns, houses, schools, and churches.
Some of my work was seen by a couple of Associate Professors at one of the better universities in that area, and they approached me about using some of my pictures in a historical book they would like to generate on early life in the Appalachians. I'll see how that goes.

Hi, Ken.
Thanks for commenting. You hit upon the very reason I continue to shoot this stuff...eventually it will all be gone.

It's good to hear from you again. The old tub is still there...I cloned it out of my image.
Thanks for commenting.
