These were packed away and are soon heading for the thrift store. I bought these when I was a kid, likely early teens or before. I remember liking them as much for the atmosphere as the wildflowers. Even then I liked abandoned farms.

Ben Spark has been taking photos of entropy for PhotoChallenge.org. I will be getting out on Sunday for my own rural exploration. Might start around Stayner as we found a great little place (just off the main street) for coffee there.
Downtown Barrie, Ontario
Downtown Barrie, Ontario taken yesterday when I was out for coffee on my day off. I’d like to get a better photo of that window. Can’t really see the design well yet. Looks like it had a jewel or something interesting in the middle.

Something Waits Beneath
Quote from BlueMountainMama‘s blog post:
“I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape—the loneliness of it—the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.” -Andrew Wyeth
This is kind of how I feel about the abandoned farm houses when I am am there, seeing them and getting photos.
