I have a facination with old barns. To me they symbolize endurance of americana in a very deep way. Some are old and weathered, like this one in the photo. It makes you wonder on its age, and the people who built it. They always seem to last longer than residential houses, and some stand alone in fields without any connection to humanity sometimes. This one was off by itself in a field with an tree growing into part of it. If this building could talk, I would bet it has some interesting stories to tell.
Michael, yes I think this old barn would have some stories to tell. It could be one hundred years old, for all we know.
Michael, That is a great photo of that old hay barn! They do make for some great photos! I love looking at pictures of the old structures myself!
Hi Michael, You are right, I woud bet the stories over it's lifetime would be amazing. Great photo.
Great pic Michael, I love these old remnants, makes you wonder about the history and people who built it and worked the farm.
You may be selected as the chair of the ActiveRain snow picture group. We will watch for more of your photographs.
That is a nice photo Michael. There are a lot of old, decaying barns in my neck of the woods and I'm always on the lookout for a safe place to pull over so I can take a photo. Thanks for sharing.
Most people love old barns and old bridges. Add some snow.... and it's just perfect!!
Note: I have since learned that this type of barn is a corn crib, not a hay barn. Thanks for your comments everyone!
