    Wow, how old are those buildings exactly? I remember when I lived in NH, there were some seriously old houses. It was really amazing they still stood.

    Well, after one week of forgetting about photohunt again, mine is up at last. This one was a little easier for me since I spend a lot of time photographing architectural stuff.

    This makes me wonder if there are any stores left in Bible Grove, Illinois where my dad grew up. It always makes me a little sad to drive down the backroads and see little towns with deserted grain elevators and boarded up buildings. Ghost towns of the modern age.

    I can never make up my mind on these topics…so, mine is up. Worked on it all evening between dogs barking and cats wanting to play. Can’t wait to see all the beautiful pictures.

    I love old buildings and places, they have such a feel to them that newer places just never seem to capture!

    Thats an odd looking building! but very cute.
    It so strange to see something like that in the US and have it classed as really old, when parts of the church up the road from me are a 1000 years old.

    My picture(s) are about the architect Lord Norman Foster and some of his works… like our home - I hope it´s robust enough and doesn´t fall too soon *LOL*

    What a cool photo. The street angle accentuates the brittle look of the buildings. It makes it appear as though it would only take a puff of wind to make the buildings topple down! I love it! I just got my architecture photo up, and like yours, could have fit in the antiquity category, as well! Blessings!

    You don’t see many of these small, old, towns anymore that has kept the original buildings. It’s like stepping back in time.

    LOL! I was wondering if that was your house. I was sitting here thinking, “How can I be nice here?” *grin*

    I’m kidding. It’s true. You don’t see these types of buildings very often nowadays. On second thought, this looks like part of the small town my husband grew up in. I think it was called “Hicksville?” *grin*

    Have a great weekend!
