Oh I just love the way the silos seem to be hugging that barn. Both are great shots!

Tanya Breese said...

Nancy said...

I have never seen a barn like the one in the first photo; so very interesting. And yes, I know there are some good stories hiding the walls of that barn......

Always enjoy your pictures girlfriend....

Hi Debbie...I is a shame to find the conditions of what once was a working farm..but so many farmers had to give up there farms because they can't make a living!!
Thanks for sharing these...

I always wonder about the abandoned barns. Did the farming not pan out or the barns not needed any longer? These are great shots that makes you want to know the story behind the barns present day condition.

Elizabeth Edwards said...

TexWisGirl said...

the first shot made me thing it was a small place, but the 2nd, it looks huge! and so sad that it's going to ruin!!!

Rose said...

Wow, that looks like a whole mess of barns...those silos look massive in the one shot.

Have a nice evening

Awesome photos! To bad they aren't being taken care of!

It really IS sad to see such a huge working farm all grown over like that! That's awful to see... I wonder where the owners are & what happened to them! If you find out any details, be sure to let us know!

You certainly got some great shots of the place before it's completely taken back by nature!

Thanks so much for joining this week's Barn Charm =)

I love your photos on all the barns. I think they are beautiful even in the abandoned condition as the one in the first photo.

I love the "squeezed in between the silo" image. :)

Great pics of these old silos. It's a shame to see all these old farms falling down.

Ellie said...

I really like the round (silos?) they look like big chimneys.

Julie G. said...

Terrific photographs! How interesting to see that one barn looking quite squeezed by the two silos.

Lesley said...

That first photo is funny. Looks like a bit of infill building went on there!

Angie said...

This is my favorite barn you have showcased thus far. I think silos are absolutely beautiful!

Dawn said...

That should be called a "Barn Charm Hug"!
Love it!

Debbie, wonderful barn photos. I love the first shot of the two silos. It is sad to see the farms were abandoned. I hope you are having a great week.

Clytie said...

It's beautiful - and I'm absolutely lovin' on that vine that's taking over so artistically!

Nani said...

I LOVE SILOS!! And don't you wish all the stories of places like this were written down somewhere?! Generations of family stories connected to this land - Can't wait for more shots!

CameraCruise said...

Great shots of the barns, love the first one.
My Ivy barn is next to a hotel and will be demolished when the hotel expands in the near future.

Sad to see places abandoned. Around here it's not so much that they can't make a living as they can't afford the taxes and house payments.

Love that first photo.
