Welcome to the weekend, friends.
I want to thank everyone for their comments, RTs and shares, particularly during the last couple of days while I’ve been away from the net. Currently I am visiting some long-time friends during my travels through some rural areas where internet signals are not so readily available. I have always loved the “country life” and all it has to offer. It is always a trip back through time. Needless to say, I’ve captured a photo or two and will happily share them with you in the near future.
Today I offer a dilapidated barn that caught my eye while driving along a stretch of rural roadway. It does not appear to be that old, certainly not from the early 20th century but rather, a parcel of land that has been allowed to fall into decay.
As you can see in the foreground, the split rail fence has been nearly overtaken by the grass, which has gone to seed. What was once a proud white barn with a red tin roof has fallen into disrepair. Makes me wonder about the family who once lived here and what life was like during better times.
Well, the journey continues for me so we will be catching up to your post Sunday and Monday. In the meantime I wish you a great weekend.
Thanks so much for clicking by.

Just love that worn out wood

Great shot, Jimi. It would be great to explore the inside. I used to live on a farm and we had a barn that looked like that. It was built in the mid 1800s with very large rough wood beams held together with wood pegs. . .no nails or bolts. Love that stuff!

Excellent find Jimi. Super details and textures. Agree with Mark that there are probably a treasure chest of images inside.

Wonderful find. I like the way you think. I like to thing about the past in the same way. Great shot Jimi!
Great find Jimi and wonderful details in this shot. You always make your subject matter come alive.

Hope you’re having a great trip! I love the mood here – the sense of beauty in the midst of decay. Wonderful!

Wonderful shot Jimi. I would love to explore the inside, but my everpresent fear of spiders might prevent me…

Dilapidated barns are so much more photogenic than new ones. Great shot.
You were able to pull some nice color tones out of the old building!

[...] Dilapidated – this wonderful old character-filled barn serves as a bit of a metaphor for modern day living in this great shot by Jimi Jones. The weathering and deterioration that has begun to take hold here is marvellously documented and shared in this post. [...]
