More Relics in Rural America – Part 5

This is a continuation of photography of old, abandoned homes or other structures that I’ve found, while traveling in middle America.

Stone House in Tall Grass

It is unusual for me to come across such finds as this late in the day with the sun low in the sky or with such great clouds in the sky from a clearing rain storm. I had to walk through tall grass to get near enough to shoot this old homestead in Middle America.

Tiny House in Tall Grass

This tiny house (or storage building?) is behind the bigger house (first image).

Maybe a Bath House?

Walking around to the back side of the tiny house, I found this pile of rocks from the collapsed structure, an old cast iron bathtub and other debris.

A Prince Came Calling

The title for this image is inspired by the small object I spotted in the upper left corner of the door frame. I know that object might be too small in this image for a viewer to identify, but it is an old Prince Albert tobacco tin. Prince Albert tobacco is still produced and it was very common and popular, when I was a kid growing up. Empty, discarded tins like this were common litter items back then.

Abandoned Prairie House and Windmill

There are two abandoned houses at this homestead, the one in the first image and the one in the image above.

 

Abandoned House, Windmill and Bathtub

Shooting the windmill from another direction, shows the first house and the tiny house in the background.

Past and Future

There are modern electric power generating windmills on the far horizon in this image, indicating the continuity of wind energy in Middle America from the past into the future.

Open and Shuttered
