You could set up house there,What a view..Nice rustic one Jim..R.

Fantastic shot Jim! Reminds me of days gone by:)

You got more ruins than me pal...or is this your fixa-upper!...

Nice clarity on this, I prpbably would have snapped this on the move, not stopped...He he!..

Looks like the tornado that came here in June got them too! Or maybe it was Hurricane, Irene. I bet the insurance company doesn't come through on this one. I really like the way your colors translate to my screen, Jim. They are always nice and rich and this is no exception.

Now and then one sees objects/views that are worth taking photos of just while passing by. Good thing you had your camera there. The old derelict building has its own charm. Nice colours here too Jimbob.

Great sky and well captured textures and detail.

Jimbob, I do suppose that this 'solid state' building is for sale. Needs only some minor maintenance, lol.
Love the textures and different tones in your image. Was worth a stop very well, my friend.

Regards, Cornelius.

The structure reminds me of some old country schoolhouses in my area ... still standing with a weathered look & making a presence from a time so long ago & perhaps somewhat forgotten for some. I like the color contrasts & the clouds make a prefect background. I know my hubby would be cutting up those logs for firewood & I would be stacking the wood pieces. Excellent capture, Jim.

Surely you remember this song and show JimboB.
Too bad your cousin retired. This would have been a great project for him.
Good post.

Very beautiful shot, nice composition. The colors are great, especially the sky. Nice shot, Jim..

Great shot Jim. Looks like there could still be some use in that structure with a little work.

Very interesting and beautiful idea shooting this old house. The sky is lovely. I like the picture.

This a magical view!.

Good drive by shooting, I also see a lot of these in Missouri. I agree with dankia, looks like an old school house. Nice capture Jim.

There are lots of old farm houses like this in Ok. I allways wonder of the family history in them. Great capture Jim.

A Fantastic photo,Jim.I feel sorry for this house.

I like the way you have incorporated that fantastic sky behind this derelict building. Glad you stopped when you did for this shot, so we have the world as Jim see's it!

Looks like it might have been an old school at one time. Nice shot.

Uh oh...Cousin Jasper has some work to do:)
A really superb shot Jim and excellent comp. But I think its an old schoolhouse myself.

Because of the earthquakes, there's very little brick in California. A place like this wouldn't last long even in a small seismic event, Jimbob. I love the composition and am a sucker for these old deserted shacks. The focus looks a little softer than your usual shots. Other than that, this baby is primo.

Jimbob, I sure like that wonderful sky, that sets a perfect backdrop for this neat capture. I wonder if it's an old school house that has long been forgotten. Tigs♥ =^..^=

What a great shot of this sad old building. Nicely done.

Very good work Jim, great sky you have too.. enjoy this photo! Mich

Genuine capture indeed; and that sky is definitely the icing. I adore these folksy and archaic scenes. Thanks for sharing :)

I grew up with a building like this that was out in a field near our house. Of course it was the place for all us kids to hang out! Neat shot that brought back some memories and the sky is just awesome - nice work, Jim -

The clouds are really beautiful.

"Watchin all the girls go by?" - Could be a long wait!

Wonderful capture and composition

Very clever work, Jim! You made a maybe ugly view in a cathing eyes image! super!

Great composition. A beautiful sky to compliment.

So you were the one responsible for the traffic tie up. I think they got the traffic mule out to cover the story for the local radio. A nicely composed and presented scene. Great looking colours and textures in the shot.
