Rural Alberta and Saskatchewan are rife with abandoned farmsteads, this one being south of the Great Sandhills of Saskatchewan. As farm income declines and farmers either leave for town or expand to super-size, many lovely old places are left to the elements, many communities struggle to remain viable.
I think about that whenever I’m sitting in traffic in Calgary

Gena … I love this one! The faded red paint is incredible! Much like the big red barn down our road!
Hard to imagine such beautiful old places just languishing in the elements! You really captured the patina of this great old barn!
