Cruising southbound down the Swinomish Channel, WA, at low tide. Could just see the tops of buildings, but the Cascade Mountains were really clear.
The John R Park Homestead can found on the north shore of Lake Erie just a half hour drive from Windsor, Ontario. The homestead house was built in 1842 and is a working museum from that period with special events on weekends and throughout the year for school field trips.
I enjoy using this little Kodak for certain shots.
It brings a warm softness to scenes.
An old abandoned farm that is waiting for the slow ravages of time to take their toll.
A haunting afternoon light filtered through the tree warming a lazy cat curled beside the barn.
Once there was a farmer who worked this heavy land. Resting peacefully in a land where time has no meaning.
Eternally hopeful the cat shall wait for his return as prairie grass and hogweed overtake the fields.
There used to be a glacier here. Then a fertile field followed by a farm with a family. Now the wind rules supreme.
The cat shall grow old and one day disappear. The roof will bend like an old tired horse and collapse. In the end the wind shall reign this empty patch of land to sit in silence on the other side of time.
Old homestead caught on film. Kodak 66 Model II camera, expired Kodak Tri-x film, caffenol developer.
Part of an early homestead in Arizona in the early 1900's. Believe it or not, agriculture was king in many parts of Arizona at that time.
This homestead was taken at Sweet Springs West Virginia. I never tire of the breathtaking rural scenery the Virginia's continually provide.

Hot building day on the homestead as we move and put up some new elements. Everyone wants to help as I grab a shovel and dig in. .

"The Hornbek Homestead, in Florissant, Colorado was built in 1878 for [twice-widdowed, mother of four] Adaline Hornbek, who established a ranch in the area to the west of Pike's Peak in the 1870s. The log house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an example of an early homestead. It is an excellent example of homestead-era log construction. The property includes a number of outbuildings which were relocated to the site. The property was sold to the National Park Service in 1973 and is included in Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. Adaline Hornbek was an early homesteader who established a substantial ranch in an area that had seen only subsistence farming." < Wikipedia >
Happy Fence Friday and have a great weekend too!
This old place found in Wyoming is loaded with all kinds of goodies - which you need to enlarge to see.

My place at night. Right at the edge of the bush within the property - listening to the rustling of something moving in the trees behind me that wasn't brave enough to show itself, but was enough to scare my daughter back inside.
Long forgotten South Dakota homestead along I90 near Wasta. I don't advise pulling over along an interstate to take pictures, neither does the South Dakota Highway Patrol....
Move it along and Have a great monochrome Monday!

The red cliffs of Capitol Reef tower above the well maintained homestead in Fruita, Utah. The cliffs were, formed by windblown sand deposits (Wingate Formation, thicker lower layer, 200 MYA) and from riverine depsosits (Kayenta Formation, upper layer, ca. 180 MYA). The white dome sticking up in the back is Navajo Sandstone, deposited as sand in a desert environment.
Once one of the most isolated communities in the U.S., Fruita (formerly known as "Junction") is now HQ for Capitol Reef National Park, who maintain fruit orchards and a few of the old buildings. The campground is one of the most scenic in the NPS system, just behind where this was taken. The park is a great example of how human impact on the landscape is nicely blended in with the surroundings, with "historical" orchards adjacent to 1500+ year old petroglyph panels, just below the cliffs of the reef.

Several members of the Thomas family rolled up in their Gators while I was taking photos of their hillside, and told me this log cabin dates back over 200 years.
My wife claims the tree in the middle looks like a chicken!
Florida Burrowing Owls are often near airports and are quite clever to use storage containers as a nest
This old homestead looks to be a barn, the cabin is just up the road. The door on one end is a wide barn door. The monsoon season added a wonderful sky to this setting in Taylor Park, Colorado.
Brimbank Park, Keilor East, Victoria
A pleasant spring afternoon saw us out at Brimbank Park, the first time that we have been beyond the 5 km travel radius in Melbourne during the recent COVID-19 lockdown. It was extended to 25 km a few weeks ago and now will be abolished together from tonight.
Dodds Homestead is one of the features of this park which is a hidden gem despite its size as this was once farming land on the edge of the Maribyrnong River but is now in the middle of suburbia. The Dodd family owned and worked this land until 1974 when it became part of the park. For more information, go to: trove.nla.gov.au/work/231618905
