Post a CommentI actually kinda like the ruins of an old barn. I like to imagine the who's, how's and what''s of yesteryear.
Super slideshow. Too few old barns left. Bit of trivia: As a young man, James Whitcomb Riley traveled the countryside painting signs, many of them on barns...kind of a precursor to the Mail Pouch barns that started appearing in 1925.
seems we have the same obsession with delapidating barns...
Bet you these old buildings could tell many stories. Nice photographs.
I love old barns. Hate to see them neglected.
Sad to see them just rot away...
I love to see them. Thanks for showing them
It evidences one of two things: the individual owning the barn no longer pursues his vocation/avocation, or (s)he's too tight to spend a few bucks.
P.S. Make sure that that there is no period at the end of the link when you paste in it the addy line.
No worries: you'll love this photo I was just enjoying. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ClintonNJredmill.jpg
