Description

This old stone barn, obviously out of service for years, stands on a farm up in a remote northeast corner of Kansas. Barns like this have been replaced by modern buildings that aren't as attractive but are much larger and far more functional for the modern farmer. Thanks for stopping by. As always, your comments are highly valued. Bill

"Built for stout," as they used to say. Great find and capture, Bill.

Oh yeah, this has Civil War era written all over it. Stellar colors and textures in this composition, Bill!

A wonderful capture Bill. Do you have any idea how old this building is? Looking at an old building like this one always makes me wonder what was going on there when it was occupied.

Well I don't know I am not really too into barns HAHA just kidding this is great~~~ Sad that they are being replaced isn't? I guess when we have a country full of Walmarts and strip malls they will all be happy...

Great shot, Bill! Good composition! Too bad 'cause they don't fix it... btw, I heard the state of KS offers free land, even abandoned houses, just to move in KS... is it true?

Wow, what a great looking barn. Our barns here are/were always wood. It would be great if someone took pity and refurbished this one. :o) Excellent image.

The view of the construction is great. So strong and built to be serviceable. The rustic feel is here for sure.

Excellent capture. It would be interesting to see if one man stood on the second floor and hoisted up the bales for storage, and then tossed them back down when needed, and if it was the farm help that lived on the top floor. Or chickens.

WoW! This is pretty stunning. I can understand the need for more practical buildings but these have so much more character it would be a crime to let them all disappear. More like this please Bill.
