Wonder what story this one could tell; perhaps a tale of Harley Warrick when he applied its last coat of paint? This one looks like it was done at least twice from the number of the "signatures" barely visible on the lower right corner of the building.
Spotted this on the road (WV 250?) chasing covered bridges near Hundred, WV. Just had to turn around and take some shots. Glad I did, as the barn and the advertising are no longer standing.
(Didn't store the original as taken with P&S back in July of 2006 and image quality not the best when viewed larger.)
Thanks for the challenge and enjoy.

Another good subject for a challenge, Judy, and should draw a good participation. Thanks for hosting again.
It's readily evident that there is no one geographic area that has a hold on dilapidated structures. At least that's my take from our travels.
Not much going on at this old gold mining operation in Colorado.

New Mexico has a few old ranch structure that don't see a lot of use anymore.
On a more personal involvement in Missouri, can you believe Dad had me help install a sliding door on this old combined corn crib / shed.

I didn't notice that the Peace Corps was pulled out. I hope your granddaughter was there long enough to get a really good experience of the place.

Thanks Leslie. Krapf moved to this place following the deaths of his wife and new-born daughter. He was himself invalided out a few years later. His mission was not regarded as successful as far as conversions were concerned, but he was a talented linguist and did the first translations of parts of the bible into Kiswahili.

This is an old house that still stands. Sort of a land mark. Likely the most photographed house in S/W Ontario. I printed this on canvas and it sold at an art show last year.
This is so beautiful! I'm not surprised it sold. So mysterious & moody.

What a great challenge! Sadly, I don't think I will have time to dig out the few I may have, but I will certainly enjoy seeing everyone's work. I LOVE your 3...especially your son's antique shop!!! I would love to see some interiors of that place!

These are amazing! Love the corn crib/shed story...these buildings all have many stories to tell, I'm sure.
