Nice shot Dan. Looks kind of lonely out there.
Very Well Done, thanks for sharing, Don

It just looks so barren and lonely now. Such a bittersweet reminder of the life, laughs and love that once filled this area here. The misty look does indeed give it a sense of loneliness as Don stated.You've captured this emotion just perfectly Dan. A very moving capture.

I love these country scenes & to think at one time someone called it home. You captured this so well Dan ... the windmill does look lonely, but yet still is a dignified structure. Thank you for sharing.

It is always funny for me, that there is so much land, that people just give it up. The landscape does indeed look lonely for me. Or is it the foggy weather? Very nice shot.

Since I know a little about No. Dak and not much about So. Dak if it is anything like your northern neighbor I could well imagine how isolated and alone one might have been out here on this now abandoned farmland. I have been in the Heritage Center Museum in Bismarck and read the accounts of how women, especially, went mad because they were so isolated from their neighbors...who knows? It is interesting to make up stories based on those diaries of real people who suffered real trauma out there on the prairie...now that was morose..lol ...I guess you got your point across very well in this excellent upload :)PJ

Winter is a _____, isn't it? I hate it. One has to really work to find a worthy image around here. The stark lonliness of this area is striking. I think the focus could have been better but none the less, the message gets through. Good post.

Boy ya really let the place go ta hell Dan, even your windmill's about to fall over. LMAO Shoudda got ya a Home Depot card for Christmas I guess. LOL Nice job buddy, we have alot of old farms that no longer are active around here too. It's ashame the small operations can't compete anymore with the big commercially run jobs.

LOL! John is making me laugh and cough!!! lol! well it does look very barren here Daniel and has gone to rack and ruin - what a shame! but in the Spring I guess it will look pretty. It's a bit blurry like in a dream - or am I dreaming - I never know these days! Your picture conveys all that you are saying about it and for that I say good job my friend! Patti zzzZZzz

Any rabbits out there, i just wondered if they are starving two. LOL Sorry Dan, John made me do that. We have lots of places like that around here. Small farms just can't compete. Thanks Dan. Have a Happy New Year, Dwight.

Beautiful landscape Dan. I wonder what happen to the house and people how lives there before... Excellent post.

This image does have a feel of desolation and loneliness. The muted tones and the fog seem to emphasize that idea. You have captured that very well.

I love your little writeup on this little farmhome...and I am always so glad that pictures are taken of spots like this, soon the whole thing will be gone, but you will treasure the place you found and shared with people...Its soft beautiful shot.and of course, since I lived in South Dakota all my growing up years, I love these shots all the more..fog is hard to show up on photos, but you did great with this one!!..Verena

Wonderful shot Dan... I love shots like this, the cold.. misty.. lonely look.. its a shame that people have to leave like this.. its the same over here only because of the drought.. very sad... and you have captured the feel beautifully.. well done

Beautiful landscapte and Lovely capture,Dan..Looks so lonely out there..Well done..

Nice moody scene Dan ... captured well. Makes me feel the need for a sweater right now ... gettin' a bit chilly. :o) Happy New Year my Friend!

Very lovely and simple to the eye. I love pics with fog and nature. Great job.

Dan I just saw this in the VB and wanted to find out more about it. I really like how you captured that lonely feel. It has a soft look and feel to it. I think its just wonderful. One of the many disapearing farms. Sandi
Happy New Year too!
