---What is to come?---

Carol, when I read your narrative, you even can't provide us with an answer.
It's a pity that this characteristic barn is no longer used.
It's future is indefinite. Demolition cannot be ruled out. In that case, we have your beautiful photograph for a little comfort.

Oh well done on the editing, and I agree with Mr. C. it's sad it is not in use anymore. tigs=^..^=

It's so sad to see these barns no longer in use and I suspect that eventually this barn will also disappear from the rural landscape - Great Capture and Editing Carol!!!!!!!!

This has such a nostalgic atmosphere - a lovely image carol

Another great tribute capture, Carol, for those individuals throughout our history who have the stamina and determination to do some of the hardest work there is. I had to zoom in and out several times to determine that what I was seeing in one spot in particular, wasn*t actually there. In the left end of the small structure is a black rectangle that I assume is a wall of the slightly smaller add-on to the outbuilding on the right. Perhaps the wall was originally painted white and lost most of it to weather? What I immediately saw, the first, second, and third time I looked, that tall triangular white shape in the black looked, for all the world, like a brunette woman wearing a white dress, a long-sleeved black jacket, and a wide black belt, all in a style that would have been popular in the 1880s or 1890s.

Perhaps she is the ghost of a woman who lived here when the farmstead was built? Perhaps she is a period character who took a break from the Chautauqua fair on the other side of the barn? Perhaps my 3 hours of sleep last night simply was not enough?

Ah, well. Regardless, it*s another keeper.
