Years ago. For a purpose. That purpose is no longer being served. But there it stands. Steadfast in it’s right to exist. And finding an entirely new reason to be here. It’s new purpose Stopped me in my tracks Pulling my eyes My curiosity My appreciation. Looking all the more exquisite With it’s rough edges And worn appearance. Such character.

It does have a legacy doesn’t it? LikeLike Chatter Master May 3, 2017 at 6:15 pm I feel a little like that ..once had a purpose, still standing, but……☺ I wonder if you have hit on a depiction of old age? LikeLike Bridgesburning Chris May 2, 2017 at 7:10 am It kind of feels like it Chris. I want to be like that building though. It found a new purpose. LikeLike Chatter Master May 3, 2017 at 6:16 pm The building touches me. I get so much out of admiring old barns and buildings that stand on their last moments. They have such qualities that were never designed by an architect. You got it. It’s their character that grabs me. Rough and leaning in. LikeLike goldenbrodie May 2, 2017 at 8:04 am Exactly GB. It’s not perfect and pristine…yet it is dignified and beautiful. LikeLiked by 1 person Chatter Master May 3, 2017 at 6:17 pm Looks like a tree is growing out of the window! That is its new purpose!

What a wonderful photo and your words add thoughtfulness! LikeLike Debra May 2, 2017 at 1:36 pm Oh my , I see them every where. And I always always wonder about the lives, the hands that built it, I imagine sunny hot days with cold water or iced tea. Sweat. And satisfaction when it was complete.

I loved the photograph, Colleen. Suddenly, the Simon and Garfunkel (hauntingly beautiful) photograph song came to mind . . .”What a time it was, . . . it was a photograph . . . preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you.” LikeLike reocochran May 6, 2017 at 10:27 am I will have to look up the song. And yes, I feel this way about a lot of homes I come across. Someone built them, lived complete lives in them, now they sit in disrepair….. that makes me very sad. LikeLiked by 1 person Chatter Master May 6, 2017 at 5:37 pm It makes me sad, too. This is a thoughtful story which should possibly motivate people to keep homesteads in shape. Preservation is so important. LikeLiked by 1 person reocochran May 13, 2017 at 8:28 pm I like that at least this place was in a peaceful and maintained place. I think it was being allowed to just exist. And I did like that. 🙂 LikeLiked by 1 person Chatter Master May 15, 2017 at 5:31 am It is relaxing and feeling the breezes, C.
