Abandoned Farm

While I was out looking for the country church a couple of weeks ago, I came across this abandoned farm site.

Back side

The old house back in the trees with most of the windows broken out.

Abandoned Farm Place

On my back roads tour last week I found this abandoned farm place.  Once upon a time I'm sure it was a well loved place.  Oh, the stories it could tell.  I really hate seeing this places going to ruin, but they do provide great photo ops.

Abandoned Farm Site

 I came upon this abandoned farm site the other day while out for a drive.  There is a silo but no barn. There is an old house, some bins and a few other little buildings.  I hate seeing these places abandoned and this is such a pretty one with the pond!








I would have loved to explore this old house but didn't dare go any farther.




Thanks for stopping!  See you next time

Abandoned Farm Place

I found this abandoned farm place not far from town and had to try out my new camera.  This first picture was taken from the road about an hour before sunset.



I decided since the place was abandoned I would walk up the driveway to where it curves so I could see the barn.








There was this old farm house and another shed on the site.  These last 3 shots were taken from the road.







I know you are all wondering what kind of camera I bought.  It is not a SLR.  It is another point and shoot.  I cannot afford a SLR and besides I have a lot of arthritis in my wrists and it is hard to hang onto anything big or heavy.  So I did a lot of research on what the best point and shoot might be.  I decided on a Canon Power Shot SX260HS with 20X optical zoom.  These are all SOC except for resizing and were shot with the Apeture setting.  I have been trying to shoot using that setting instead of on auto.  So far I am loving the camera and the 20X zoom. If anyone has any suggestions for taking better pictures, let me know.
