You know they're going to knock the thing down at some point but it's still there, while the corn field is turned into McMansions or another Taco Bell.

Ahem. I'll blame the last few warm, overcast, but not rainy days for that. (Thank goodness this is Texas and that'll change, soon enough, as it does for pretty much any weather condition...)

(Even though I don't have a car in DC) I miss the "traffic jams" in Ohio caused by extremely large farm equipment being driven at 10 mph along a patch of a county road....or Amish buggies (which, from what I understand, are not required to have reflective attachments for their own safety at nightime). Also, I miss driving at night in the country--that's what we say, "in the country", as opposed to "in town"--when it is so dark it's almost creepy (at least now it is, to this urbanite).

Radley,

Just tell any pissed-off farmers that you’re not tresspassing, you’re a location scout for the next John Mellencamp video.

I too... A) Share the fascination with delapidated barns (as you'll see from future photos). But if you'll peer into them, you'll find many that appear beyond use are, in fact, still used to house farm equipment. Guess building code enforcement in the Midwest isn't quite what it is on the East Coast. B) Think someone should start a photo collection of them. C) Was afraid of getting shot at it while taking pictures back home. Missy –
