what neat photos! i love the broken window one. when we drove down to green bay we past many, what seemed like abandoned farms...old, falling apart barns and silos...or maybe they just moved bit farther away from the highway. one can only hope
I suppose it's the kind of thing most people like to see, as long as it is not on their own property ;-) At least that's how it is here in Denmark! I love the photos!
Hey Fartsy, I like your artsy! I was just recalling with Tipper (over an 8 oz. bottle of "pop"/"coke" via cyberspace!) the waterwheel mill my grandma used to take us to every summer. It now sits in the middle of a state park that was named after it and still runs from the current of the spring it sits on. If we can't pass on the tradition itself, we can at least pass on the knowledge of the tradition ~ as my grandma did to me and you are doing with your girls. Maybe that's what it means to say "we're doing the best we can do with what we have"?
Thank you for saving some of this in photos.. My husband sends me to take pictures of things that will soon be gone.. old tobacco barns..old carts, log buildings ..old houses .. old stores ..etc.. mine are just photos... your's are definitely ART!!
These photos are beautiful. Simply beautiful. I love rural America...I drive around with camera in hand and pull over at a moment's notice to photograph images like this.
