Farm buildings

First and second-generation farm buildings are disappearing quickly from the Canadian Prairies.
I hope to capture them for future generations, along with equipment of the time.

Earl, this is a great gallery .It is very sad to see these buildings in such a neglected state and it to know that they are slowly vanishing from the prairies.Keep up the good work.

When Jesus died and went up to heaven he was so excited to be home he rushed right in. God got a little upset, Hey Jesus could you shut the door ? Or were you born in a barn ?

Jerry Curtis18-May-2009 12:31
Some wonderful images of rural decay here, Earl. Though I love these kinds of images, they always make be a little sad that the buildings are abandoned and decaying. I always like to imagine better days when they were occupied and productive...
