North of the City of Markham

There's no shortage of crumbling barns this close to Toronto.

  3. A really awesome and rugged setting. I'm sad that the barn is in such a shape, but with the snow it makes a great photo.

  5. Hopefully it's just the buildings crumbling and not the farms.

  6. Very nice shot, but poor old barn! There are plenty of barns and even some houses in similar condition around here.

  9. Great photo but sad to see these places going down and in the future, 'growing up' into housing or commercial space. I guess life goes on eh?

  10. What is it about pictures of ruined structures I like so much? This is great with the contrast of the snow against the colors of the building and field.

  13. All that snow on the roof won't help either!

  14. I feel so sad seeing them like this. Poignant, I suppose.

  15. Why so many of these? Have the people sold out for residential subdivisions? It's kinda sad.

  16. I imagine the weight of snow over time increased damage to the barn. Even dilapidated and somewhat of a danger zone, the structure has charm.

  18. It looks like it may still be serving its owner - even in this state of disrepair. Beautiful photo.

  21. That old barn may not serve as a home for the horses and cows anymore, but it does indeed make for a great shot for the day!! You are SO good at finding those great shots and I'm so glad you share them with us! Hope you have a great new week!!

  24. I'll bet it was impressive in its day. Still is in its own way.

  25. These crumbling barns still hold a lot of beauty in their decline, and with the snow this is a very pretty picture.

  27. I can still hear my grandmother commenting on how that barn is coming from together!!!

  28. What a shame. We have them here too. I asked Phil about them, and he said that people only have enough money to fix up their houses. Farmers are usually poor.

  31. Great photo of the crumbling barn. It is huge and must have been important for shelter when it was built.

  32. They are so fascinating and eerily beautiful. But I always want more of the backstory. My husband just says "corporate farms .. No more little guys". So sad.

  33. It's sad they are falling down but they have such character. It's the same here, and I often wish they could talk.
