If you saw this at the side of the road - would you squeal the brakes?

Would you step closer and circle it with your camera, oblivious to the fact your companions are keeping the motor running, not coming out of the car with you, and cautioning you about folk with guns on the porch of the house next door?

I was thinking of you guys when I took these, and that you would be right there beside me.

On another note: I am not happy with the quality of the uploads on this new site, the name of which I now forget. The speed of the upload should have given away to me that the quality is suffering. None of the photos I took and posted in the last few days look as good reproduced here as they do on my monitor.
Back to searching for a new provider.

Enjoy this wild little barn in the Virgina back lands.

Great photos. I love old barns, but they are not uncommon, at least off highways in South. Hoyt Oct 2017 #11

but we know, Mira, you are the brave explorer among us! THANK YOU!

I do wish there were a good (and for me, EASY) provider available. Until then, I'll wait. I do have at least one pretty nice pic from VT/NH (and some nice bird pics too.)

I still remember the smell of my granddad's well over 55 years ago. One was still on the little farm when I drove by a few years ago. Don't know who owns it now.

Post more when you slam on brakes next time.

Tobacco barns are generally taller. Virginia tobacco is smoke or flue cured. The stuff here in my region is air dried and packs a serious nicotine punch.
