Oh, that first one has its stories, if only we knew them! Wonderful shot of a fine barn - love the cupolas!

Oh my gosh, it's so sad that such a one time beautiful farm is now a ghost farm... that's awful! You shot it beautifully, but I just hate to think about the owners & their loss!

Thanks for joining, Debbie, much appreciated! =)

Karen said...

Great shots! I bet that farm is full of old stories.

Jill said...

I love all of the cupolas on that first barn. It has great charm all the way around. Oh the stories it could tell...

Ellie said...

It looks as if it was a lovely building in its day. It is a shame when they are abandoned. I love the shape of the roof.

Lesley said...

I love the shape of the roof on the first shot - and that wonderful silo! But, oh, so sad to see the whole farm abandoned.

TexWisGirl said...

love the silo in the first shot.

Leenie said...

Took a quick cruise through the barn charm tour. The one on your blog is my very favorite. What character it has. Too bad it can't tell its stories.

There is something so beautiful about the weathered and worn. Love looking at these beautiful buildings.

Wow, that was a huge farm at one time. I like that first shot.

Rose said...

Wouldn't you just love to prowl around that place? It is a fantastic entry.

Terra said...

Oh this abandoned barn has stories to tell.

Farm Girl said...

That makes me so sad, it needs love.

Nani said...

The shape and color of the barn is wonderful, you shot it so well! It looks like it's growing out of the foliage.

EG CameraGirl said...

WOW! That really is a big farm to have been abandoned. You're right - lots of stories to tell there!

Tammy said...

Now, that's a dandy! It looks abandoned, but seems to have a lot of life yet. Sure hope it doesn't go to waste.

Aw, sad but beautiful barn. It needs a herd of milk cows & some chickens in the yard.

Nancy said...

Good grief -- that's alot of real estate going to waste!

Awesome structures, Debbie and great captures. :)

Mari said...

It was a beauty in it's day! I love the silo too!

Bev said...

That looks so similar to barns in our area. Just think of the stories they could tell: so busy at one time. Guess they've earned their rest.

Lisa @ Two Bears Farm said...

That is a huge barn! Wouldn't you love to save it?

Adrienne said...

Love how the land's just grown over it. It's a combination of sad, spooky and absolutely beautiful!

Carole M. said...

your barns are so unique to the states I'd believe; nothing like them here; we call them 'sheds'

genie said...

This is a real heartbreaker. It must have been some farm in its day. I guess it just cost too much to keep it up. So sad. Your captures are lovely. genie

Carole said...

How fabulous that barn must have looked when brand new. Louden dairy barn perhaps? Looks as if it might be.
