Jederick, these are excellent photos. Super sharp. This was surely not taken with a Kodak Bownie Hawkeye (which I have). Also, good subject for B&W. There is a specialty lumber processing company in Maine which acquires lumber from old falling down barns like the one you presented. They run it through a surface planer and other equipment to bring out the wood's unusual character. Then they sell it for an outrageous price - to primarily building contractors.
Many thanks for your generous comments and that info on processing this old lumber. I know there are a few outfits around here that buy old barn wood and will actually raze a structure, if necessary.

Wow! So very nice. I too, have an appreciation for old barns and houses now long abandoned. This spring, I'm going to travel throughout the Palouse area of eastern Washington to photograph such structures. Again, very nice set. Ken

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...
excellent shots of that old about to collapse barn, jederick. you sure do find a lot of them...amazing...you must be trucking on down the road most of the time.
