Winter at Work
aw. This makes me a little sad.
It was already way past repair, I just hope it gets cleared soon!
Kind of sad. Maybe someone will salvage part of it and make something.
Maybe it’s been run down and out of use as long as I can remember
Maybe make a cute potting bench out of the weathered lumber or something.
I find it beautiful because it still standing and the stories that it holds and shares every time you look at it. Yes it’s sad to a point that it’s been left to run down to the ground but it’s showing it’s strength to say it has stories and it’s not done with being there yet. It refuses to give up the ground on which it was built to make way for something concrete and new. Good for it!
Very good point!
There are a lot of uses for the salvaged materials.
There would be even more if they’d done something some time ago.
Oh boy. It was a tough winter!
That’s how we roll in Norway 😉
Did you get my email with the questions?
Yes, I did. I’m going to answer them as soon as I can 🙂
Ok. I was afraid I had gotten the email wrong. Thanks!
It’s sad to see buildings slowly breaking down. It shows that there is no longer human life associated with it.
it is sad. There used to be a few cows living there ages ago, but their long since gone. There are still people using the house next to the ruin.
Lovely photos, Maja, but yes, it’s sad 😦
Thank you, Paul!
There’s something about abandoned buildings. They carries stories and they always wants to talk about something like they want to tell us something important. Sadly beautiful pictures. Almost like two paintings 🙂
You are right about the abandoned buildings. Thank you very much for your kind words about the photos.
I’m always amazed at how quickly the Earth reclaims the remnants of mankind. It doesn’t take long.
In the end it doesn’t. But this barn’s end has been many years in the making.
Old barns are so interesting. Had I known I was going to criss cross the country so many times I would have taken pictures of them along the way. They must have such stories to tell. So many in our area have been torn down when they broke up the dairy preserve that we had here and all of the daries moved to other parts of the state or even out of state. It really is sad when you think about it.
You are so right. I find them interesting and often quite charming.
Charming is a good word for many of them! ♡

I always want to get my hands on old barn wood. It makes wonderful crafting projects but hard to come by. Too bad you are so far away. 🙂 Weather can do a lot of damage to things we consider permanent. Great photos of then and now. Life changes everything, even us. Have a lovely week, Maja.
Thank you very much! I have started the week by going to a cancer awarenes concert. Hope you’re doing well!
