Unfortunately, this was tore town about a year ago. It important to keep documenting these old relics. This was between Madras and Biggs Junction, Oregon.
We were taken to this ranch about 40 drive from Helsinski. We had lunch there. And just when we were about to leave, I took this snapshot of the homestead at the ranch.
Iowa Interstate GP8 407 was in charge of the westbound Council Bluffs manifest back on a September 1995 afternoon in Iowa. Dropping a pair of motors off in the siding for some reason long lost to time, C420 850 was left on the train to keep the air pumped.
The 850 did time on the Green Bay Western and was built for the Lehigh and Hudson River, and scuttlebutt has it as the sole surviving L&HR C420 left.
She is currently off-roster and at stored for a private owner in Michigan last time I checked.
A homestead that sits near Plano Schoolhouse. This cabin was moved to its current location from the Lookout Mountain area years ago, northeast of Durkee, Oregon. To the east a dozen miles is the Lookout range, used by Indians as a key lookout and by ranchers as a sheep and cattle range.

For an $18.00 filing fee and farming a certain amount of the land, in the late 19th and early 20th century one could get a 160 acre homestead in what had been Indian Territory. Most homesteaders failed as the soil and weather was unsuited for farming.
I caught this shot of a historical homestead in the outback of Australia, not far from Canberra. It was a cold winter day in June, but we still saw plenty of wild kangaroos sunning themselves in the fields. This homestead is now part of an Australian national park.
The Carcory Homestead was built in 1877 of local limestone by Hector and Norman Wilson. Listed by the National Trust, this attraction is an example of the rich history of the Diamantina Shire. It was abandoned by Sir Sydney Kidman after battling extreme drought in the early 1900s. Today it is part of Roseberth Station, serves as a reminder of early settlement in the area and attracts tourists with its intriguing architecture from all over Australia. The closest town to this attraction is Birdsville.
The hardy people that choose to live in bush Alaska often have to become like MacGyver, and at any given moment, jerry-rig anything that has broken. That is the reason you see a lot of what the average person would call "junk" - laying around outside of a remote cabin or home. You can't just jump in a car and go to the local hardware store, as it may be a couple of hundred miles away. (As it is in the case of this homesteader.)
On the other hand - what do you do with an old car or large home appliance that has quit working when you live off grid? There are a lot of puzzles like the ones I have mentioned, that have to be solved when living remotely. What would you do?
*(Notice the old truck parked down in the right hand corner of the photo? Old vehicles always capture my attention.)
NS 4031 running hammerhead style leads NS 5183 & MRL 254 on train C07 that is Northbound on the Mon Line at Homestead, PA on December 22, 1999.
This was a huge homestead with several buildings built on about 1.5 acres. I felt this area was difficult to photograph, because there was just so much there and no way to get it all. One of those amazing places well worth a second or third visit.

A digital fine art painting of an old English homestead with cows in the front yard and children and parent relaxing.
Prompt: A quaint English cottage with thatched roof, surrounded by lush green fields and grazing cows under the warm summer sun.. In front of it stands an old man sitting on his bench while holding milk jugs in one hand as he watches over two young girls playing near him. The scene is rendered in detailed oil painting style, showcasing intricate details such as wooden beams, ornate decorations, vibrant flowers around the house, and soft brush strokes to give depth to its rural charm.
The old homestead was located about a half a mile behind my
home, sited on a farmland of about 250 acres, in Lucketts, VA.
The capture was made c. 1985 and was originally shot on Kodachrome transparency / slide film, probably K-64. Then, back
around 15 years ago, I had the image written to a digital file on DVD.
More recently, I edited the image and decided to transition it yet again, this time into a black and white image, where I think it belongs.
Pay no attention to the "taken on February 15, 2011". I have no idea where that came from. Interference from aliens most likely.
Tupare homestead in New Plymouth in the frame on a rainy spring morning. The 3.6 ha gardens were developed by Sir Russell Matthews and his family from 1932 onwards and the homestead was designed by James Chapman Taylor.
