Spring Meets Winter At The Old Homestead

This is an old ranch down the road from us. What made me pull over and take this picture was that shadow the big tree cast on the house. This top image is my official entry.

But I had to get a closer shot of that shadow. The place is for sale if you are interested, just needs a little TLC. (Totalled, loan, construction.)

Bwahahahaha..."totaled, loan, construction".

We used to have a lot of old farms in our area where the farmhouses looked like this but the last of them came down about three years ago to make way for the new development on the property. Part of me is happy to see them go because there's something so inherently mournful about a home in this condition; but the other part is sad because these were places families lived and worked and there's just no trace of them left anymore.

This area has seen the logging industry die off, the mining industry die off, and now agriculture is dying off. Rich folks are coming in and buying up HUGE swaths of land and then closing off county roads that run through them. Those of us trying to work and live here will become the servants to the rich people, or we will move. My house is not in much better shape, and we just can't afford to keep throwing money at trying to fix it - we know it will be torched by whoever buys it next. It is the first house built in this area, an awesome old charmer but not up to code so we can't sell it as a home, and barely standing up so we can't really count on it lasting us the rest of our lives.

That building looks more structurally sound then my house which the local paid monkeys to throw together in the 60's! Super photo's, love seeing the snow topped mountains in the background as well.

Thanks! The green in front and snow in back was a nice contrast, I thought.

Nice shoot.., I hope you didn't scare them..

No one there to scare but ghosts :)
