Started out just trying to take some moody fog photos of cows... ended up making some new friends instead. They slowly wandered over, curious about what I was doing.

As a kid me and my friends would explore places like this. Nowadays this is about as close as I want to get. 😬

I think there's an abandoned house somewhere behind those brambles. When the leaves return it will almost surely disappear from view.

These old places, while structurally failing, emit so much character.

Here is different view and in black and white of an old barn I posted a few days ago. These old places are so much more interesting than modern well-kept structures.

I do love these old places and I'm happy to run into them when I'm out in the countryside. Probably majestic when it had fresh lumber.

Okay, If I'm going to keep shooting photos through my car windscreen when it's nothing° outside and windy, I need to keep the glass clean, amiright?

While the green trim paint is a statement for sure, I think repairing the leaks in the roof could have taken priority... but what do I know?

While this entire barn is photogenic, I was particularly drawn to this 'scene within a scene'. I may post the entire barn at some point in the future.
