This haunting scene featuring a shattered window in an abandoned room, offers a striking view of a desolate landscape. The dramatic interplay of light and shadow, as well as the presence of a broken chair and scattered debris. This imagery is shared in response to Debbie’s One Word Sunday theme, focusing on the concept of “shadow” also sharing with Becky’s NovemberShadows.
This is an old barn that at one point burned but the ruins are still standing. You are not supposed to enter the building, but as you can see, I am not the only one who has been there.

The whispers of history cling to the air like cobwebs, stands a relic of the past—a crumbling brick building. Its walls, once proud and sturdy, now bear the weight of time and neglect.
The focal point of the scene is the remnants of an arched brick structure. Each brick tells a story—a laborer’s sweat, a mason’s precision, and the dreams of generations. The arch, though weathered, still holds a hint of elegance, as if it once welcomed visitors with open arms. But now, it stands as a silent witness to the passage of time.
A door, stubbornly clinging to its frame, beckons me closer. Its dark brown hue suggests years of exposure to the elements. Now, it hangs askew, its wood softened by rain and sun.
Around the ruins, nature reclaims its dominion. Fallen leaves carpet the ground, their fiery hues contrasting with the gray of decay.
Above, an overcast sky weeps silently. It mirrors the melancholy of the scene below. Raindrops, like tears shed for lost memories, have etched patterns on the bricks. The clouds seem to mourn the passage of time, obscuring the sun that once bathed this place in warmth.
For even in decay, there is beauty—a quiet resilience that defies oblivion. And so, I leave the ruins behind, carrying their echoes within me, a witness to their silent tale.
Here are some more details from inside, broken windows with autumn colors also caught my attention
Here are some details from inside. Stairs
This has once been a great and huge shed. Even the ruins in the condition they are in at the moment are impressive, at least to me. After marveling it from the ceiling I walked inside and what did I see, have a look at the large perspective, details will follow.
This has once been a great and huge shed. Even the ruins in the condition they are in at the moment are impressive, at least to me. After marveling it from the ground I walked up to the second floor… no ceiling left, but you can see how huge it has been.
I saw and photographed a burnt cow shed last week as I was looking to capture the beautiful fall we are experiencing this year. This has once been a great and huge shed. Even the ruins in the condition they are impressive at least to me. I will be posting shots of this place between my Autumn Vibes photos. I would appreciate your feed back if you also find this ugliness appealing, at least in photos?
