Since the beginning, Americans have raced toward the horizon: building, rebuilding and discarding. All across America we have left abandoned, like carcasses after the feast, that which only yesterday was state-of-the-art invention.
— David Plowden said that
This reminds me of my grandfather’s barn when I was a child. I agree we have become a society that wants instant gratification and disposes of things without thought.
Now if we could only learn from what david Plowden stated! A great find that won’t withstand the next wind.
Quelle ancienne ferme et image quelle forme et vieux tout vieux bois
Belle soirée
Nicou
Voilà ce qu’on appelle la société de consommation …
puis vient la pollution !….
But sometimes what they leave behind is a joy to photographers like you, sherri
The pace has quickened as we use electronics that become obsolete and are discarded for something faster, shinier, and that we must have.
Beautiful old barn shot, and very astute accompanying test
A fantastic quote that has so much truth. This is a wonderful image of an old abandoned barn.
I like this photo, very nice tones and subject!
Une maison bien fatiguée…
A fine picture. I have seen that quote before and think it is very true
Not too good on renovation and recycling over there are you. Lovely Mansard roof barn gently decaying
A superb composition of this abandoned house . SO your photos give a memory to the ” more far and far way of life “!
I have a real penchant for dilapidated and abandoned wooden buildings. Love this!
Wonderful color shot of this classic old barn. What photographer can resist such a shot? Not me.
it does look like a sad little barn… we are like narcissists, love bombing, then abandoning 🙂
what a beautiful old building. I don’t suppose a lot of people would see the beauty but that’s mostly what I see.
A lovely image of this old barn… and never a truer statement.
Nicely seen and processed. Brambles abound here.
