I am introducing a post for your photographs with the theme - Seen Better Days

[DebraMae]

Old homestead between Clayton and Springer New Mexico.

When I took this picture a week ago a lady drove past and stopped in front of my car.
She alighted from her car holding her hand up in a stop gesture. She came up to my window, "Why are you photographing this house? What is your purpose"?
"Why would you care if I am photographing an old house"? I respond.
"I am the owner"
"When I see derelict and dilapidated objects I like to photograph them."
"Oh, so you do it for a hobby"?
"Correct"
"Ok, you can go now"
What pretentiousness

This worn out cottage on acreage has Seen Better Days.

No one stopped and asked me why I was photographing this old derelict cottage this time.

These photos were taken with our first ever tiny digital camera in 2006 that had a whopping 4 g memory card The camera cost us $750 ( we still have it )

We was travling in our caravan then just prior to having our new home built

This is in this tiny town in New South Wales ( Aust)

We happened to visit the town on Father’s Day , we stopped to go to the toilet and ended up there for 3 days because the whole town had a Father’s Day function on including a bbq at the local tennis courts , so we got invited to the BBQ as well , …and footy kicking completion to see if anyone could kick a football over the wheat silos

My barn jacket has seen better days, but that doesn't mean it's days are over.
