These are nice photos of Nelly, and undoubtedly, you have some wonderful memories of her. I can relate to what you most likely are experiencing, as we have lost a number of dogs throughout the years. There is no doubt that our dogs enhance our lives, and they will be missed when gone. I am sorry that Nelly is no longer physically with you.

Love this photo, makes me wonder when it was built and the family context, why it was abandoned. (Parents aged and kids didn't want to farm? Farm failed due to expenses vs production?) It certainly was well built and designed. It no doubt could be restored if someone had the ambition. How far to the nearest town? Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much, ELNikkor. I wonder about the same things when I run across these old houses. The house was located about 5 miles from town. But, in the 1950s, the rail line leading to that town was moved, and it did not take long after that for the school, post office, and other buildings/businesses to close. Eventually everyone either moved or died. C'est la vie! The end of another town.

You’re right. Perhaps I said a little too much. I also noticed that snowy path and realised that it’d be kinda tough to move the subject farther off-centre and still keep that on the pic. It adds a great effect and I wouldn’t want the snow to be missing. Whatever the case, it’s a great pic! Good job!

Thanks again, NateB. I did not take any offense to your comment. In fact, I appreciate any and all suggestions on the photos I post. I may not always follow the suggestions made, but I do appreciate them.

A Barn I Always Come Back To

Excellent photo, John. Really like the b&w, and I can see why you would want to keep returning to this old barn. I would as well.
