Make's You Want-a Cry

These old barns we see slipping away were often the center of activity's across the US of A. Families often worked at home or very near home. We used barn, smoke houses and root cellars and Ice houses stored ice as long as possible. They were the ware houses of the past. Now millions of the people that flocked into the cities for a better opportunity and now stuck there and a whole billion dollar trucking and distribution system rose up to meet there needs. Thing have really turned around, haven't they. I could go on but better stop. Take care all. Mike Flake

This picture sums up exactly the way I feel about all of the old barns that have disappeared in the U.S. What a shame! Great photo, Mike.

It's on page 2 of my site. Did you look there?

Hi Norm, I checked your Artist site and did not see the one you mentioned. Did you sell it already?

I hear/see the emotion in this great photo! I have a similar painting called "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" that depicts the same feeling. Great job! v/f

Terrific image Mike! We love the roof color and the textures throughout the scene. Congrats on your Feature in Barns Big and Small. We also added a Vote here to the image. Stop in to the group to admire the other images, add a vote or two, and a comment if you want! Celebrate life, Debra and Dave

Thanks Debra and Dave for inspiring me to do this one.
