Wordless Wednesday|All Alone

I saw this silo on my way back from a closing yesterday, and it got my attention because it was all alone in a field. I suspect at one time it was once surrounded by other buildings, and grains and feed was stored there.

Now it stands all alone in this field with just weeds, and invasive vines around.

Hopefully in business you are not standing alone but rather surrounding yourself with a network. I suspect for members of ActiveRain standing alone is not an option.

That is sort of scary looking.  I wonder what would happen if it fell over!

Hi Jennifer - I suspect for most of us involved in the online world and social networking, standing alone is not an option!  ;-)

Jennifer  - it's leaning like the Tower of Pisa.  

You are so right - we are not alone because we have so many great people like you here on Active Rain.  Thanks for the inspiration.

Jennifer if someone in this business is standing alone like that silo, they will not be standing for long :)

Jennifer, Great photo.  I think ActiveRain has been great to let us find others to stand with.

Jennifer -- It takes a village.. it is very difficult to stand alone.  When we join together and work together, we can accomplish so much more! Wish congress would get this concept.

Fell asleep early so now I am up in the middle of the night, great time to catchup .

Ann so true, we are so connected because of the internet.  Easy to reachout to someone on the otherside of the country.

Juli so you mean it was a good thing the property was posted and I did not take a closer look :)  I suspect it will come down one of these days.

Juli the feeling is mutual, we have a great community.

Kwee and your friend here on AR

George I see your point:)

Gary AR is one of the best thing that happened in the real estate industry.

Dagny thank you.

Survival without involvement won't work.

Pat I was out in Chatham NY, beautiful countryside and a popular second home destination.

DeeDee and that is why many of us are still here.

Joan working together we can get so much done, sharing ideas, learning from the experiences of others etc.

Peggy there is no such thing as going it alone if you want to survive.
