Illinois was made up of 10 acre farms operated with strong backs, a horse and maybe a Model T. Those farms are now combined into 1000 acre cornfields worked from inside huge and comfortable John Deere tractors. In addition to corn and beans many farms maintained small herds of cows. The old cow barns are long abandoned ; allowed to weather and crumble. Today a few still stand as reminders of harder times. This one is majestic and beautiful as it sags and leans. It will be gone soon.
Love it! I know of a couple photogenic barns of a similar ilk for your 12 megapixel camera. I will find road locations for you. Yes, soon they will be gone. All things must pass.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful picture.. love the golden field that runs out to the horizon. Very nice. You'll have to find some others and consider making a coffee table book of them - a nice way to save them. As you say, these will soon be gone forever...
ReplyDeleteSee my comment below your gray barn picture--I thought these werre the same post but I see they are not. Also, might consider a black and white barn photo--as long as there is either depth or texture in it. Here is a textured picture from a Boston blog I occasionally follow:

Have to right click, copy and paste that link. It's a great photo in every way.
