Possibly an Old Storm Shelter? by milaniet

Possibly an Old Storm Shelter?

Beneath this lone tree out in the fields (but blocked off by a barbed wire fence) was a small stone covered hole. Couldn't help but wonder if it was a storm shelter - definitely in the tornado path area.
Could be an old spring house too. Lots of relatives long-gone in western North Carolina had stone built spring houses partially in the ground like this. They stayed very cool temp wise and that's where milk, eggs, and homemade butter were kept, along with the sweet water from the spring. It's a great find and a lovely shot!

@Mags - hadn't thought of that. I bet you are right. You can tell that the approaching storm season must have been on my mind :)

I love this black and white landscape. It probably is a storm shelter. I can picture a tornado barreling across that wide expanse.

Very nice image and find. Not sure which answer is the right one, but being a bit claustrophobic, I don't think I'd want to go in! ;)

Don't think about that too much. I don't want to hear, "Toto, I don't think we are in Arkansas any more" statements.

Wonderful b&w image and a great find.

A lovely b&w image, I don't think I'd like a storm shelter under a big tree. Our trees have a habit of dropping branches when they're under stress.

Well spotted, it looks very sturdy!
