Ghosts of the past speak
as the sun sets
on aged boards
weathered by the test of time

I came across this old weathered barn while I was in Southern Illinois this past summer for the eclipse. Whenever I see old buildings like this, I always wonder about their story and listen for any whispers from ghosts past…

This shot captures something of us as we weather with age. When I see an older person I sometimes wonder what they have had to experience in their lifetime. I had a dear old friend years ago who had to actually pull a plough (plow) to prepare fields for planting, before walking miles to go to school, but it does not always show in their appearance.

Gosh, I hope I’m weathering better than this old barn! 😉 I wonder the same thing too sometimes when I see an older person – or any person, we never know the hardships that people may be going through, you can’t always tell on the outside, weathered looking or not…

So do I. We nearly missed this one as we drove by. In fact, there wasn’t even a shoulder to pull the car over, so we just stopped in the middle of the street and got out to take photos. 🙂
