Not Long For This World


Right now, as you read this, somewhere in the middle of Kansas stands this house all by itself, with nothing else around for as far as the eye can see.  Just sitting there.  But for how much longer?

That is so special to see a house in the middle of nowhere, no fences around. We never see this overhere, to crowded.

I agree with bieb. A desolated house in the middle of nowhere not to comprehend here.

I am always full of questions when I see a house like this: Did the partners stay together? Are they in nursing homes somewhere? Passed on?
How many kids lived there? Did they find their way to college and a good future? Do they ever think about their old home and memories?

And on she goes,

Beautiful land adores around it.

So sad.

It could be so cute.

One good shove and that could be gone.

My basic approach to taking pictures is if something makes me look twice I photograph it! Thats what happened with the corner of the building.

no doubt it provided shelter to one or more families in it's day; stories in those walls

My knowledge of Kansas is not large but a house that looks like it's been lifted up and dropped fits into it - there wasn't a pair of legs wearing ruby slippers sticking out from under it by any chance?
