CORNFIELD PASTORAL

Like most images, this one is best viewed large.

A beautiful shot...looks like the owners take better care of their corn than their buildings!...Ciaou...Marjorie

I think it's a case of the fields were always cultivated and the business while cultivated, did not make it. Thanks for the visit. I always like to hear from you.

And on and on we go on our little jaunt around rural America. Remember what you see, kids, we pass this way but once.

Thanks. Indeed, too often it is but once we pass this way. Pity.

It's hard to explain the joy of seeing aging barns, rows of corn, and black dirt. It's akin to a family reunion where everyone you know and love is there, waiting to embrace you.

Yes, but at the reunion, when viewed under the microscope, there are folks there who are less than charitable, who have bad habits, nasty secrets, and a multitude of problems. So, too, here there is a a roofless barn that once was a source of great pride, a failed business and an environment that has seen better days. Reminds me of the words of a wise oriental philosopher who said, "The fruit of wisdom is impregnate with the seed of sorrow."

Great image, David, and great discussion.

Thanks a bunch.

A peaceful scene...very nice.

Peaceful I guess is appropriate. Thanks
