Silo and Barn

 Silo

This old barn and silo must have been a beauty in its day but now it's slowly falling apart.

Taken from a little farther away

I would have loved to have taken a photo from a slightly different angle but there are several no trespassing signs so I was not able to, otherwise I might have sneaked up the driveway a short way. From this angle I had to shoot over distracting shrubs.

In celebration of the old and wonderful "stuff", I  am connecting to Rubbish Tuesday HERE.

    Well this 'rubbish' is definitely a treasure! Your angle makes the silo look like a castle tower. =)

    I've been know to sneak into places I really shouldn't to get the photo I want. You did a great job with this one from where you were though, the colours are lovely,

    This definitely has seen better days, and you photographed it well to show the decay.

    I'm always seeing old barns around here, thinking I should photograph them before they fall down. Three more nearby fell this winter.

    Old barns have so much character!! I know what you mean about respecting other people's privacy, and how sometimes that is so hard!!!

    Such an interesting structure with all the textures. It may bring a lot of photog trespassers. :)

    It's always sad to see such a beautiful and iconic structure fall apart. But, you really worried about "No Trespassing" signs? Sheesh! You'll never get your Masters Degree in photography that way! :)

    Wonderful !! I love old silos and barns from years ago and when they fall down they will not be replaced with the same...

    I've never seen a silo with an addition like that nor with a wood roof. It must really be an oldey. Nice fine.

    Wow, love that silo and its 'cap'! The barn has a patchwork quality to it. :D

    I really like this old silo and the barn of course.
    About the Tulips in the tree...we saw that somewhere and decided they looked neat. We have an old stump in our front garden so we planted red Tulips there and they do look very neat. MB

    It looks like the old towers we have in Europe, in old castles from middle age ! Stunning !

    It would have been grand. I really like the variety of textures in the first shot especially.

    The silo looks quite unusual with those bricks, EG!

    I have never seen a silo made of brick/stone.
    It is just gorgeous!

    I often feel a bit guilty at enjoying sights like this. Their appeal lies in their tattered state. Sad, but beautiful.

    What we need here EG is someone to come along and buy it to restore and convert it into a family home :)

    I forgot again about Rubbish Tuesday...and that is the one meme that I could probably join for a year without having to go take a pic.

    I love this old silo and barn...I always imagine how proud and happy the original owners must have been when they built it.

    A stone silo is a bit uncommon (for me) although there is one around here.
