Ohop Barn  by jankoos

Ohop Barn

I have put up pics of this old barn before - it doesn't look quite as naked as it did in early spring with all the vegetation around it. I wonder how long it will last with the roof falling off?
Makes me sad to see.

Thanks for your lovely comments. If I don't have time to respond, know I will be spending my time looking at and commenting on your pics, rather than thanking individually on here.
It is sad to see. But I do like seeing all the shapes and contrast with all the exposed wood.

@mamamia - Thanks Joanne - I am going to keep an eye on it and see what happens over time.

Great shot of the barn, Jan. I always think a good wind will take these down but they last and last and last. It is hard to predicte how long it will be up.

It's looking worse from the shots I took of it last August. I went back and looked at mine and a lot more of the roof is missing in this one. Sad. Great shot!

@c17ehse - That's too bad, Mike! It seems to be going downhill fast. The road is really narrow right there, and unless the Pioneer museum up the road is open, there is nowhere to park so this was taken from my vehicle.

@chard - That's too bad, Richard. It's wonderful you have it captured on camera, though. They played such a vital role to farmers and their families so I hate to see them fall down.

There are so many of these old barns in various states of disrepair. I think that capturing them somehow gives them a bit of dignity.

Great find and shot, sadly we just don't have barns like this in the UK.
