39 Varieties
On my way to OlderSon's house, I pass this building. Usually traffic is too busy for me to stop, and I sail by. But this time I decided to pull over and have a closer look.
I love the subtle faded colours and the peeling paint and the general dilapidated appearance. This is still a working farm, but no longer in use as a Farmer's Market. 39 varieties? I wish it was still open.

It is a shame that places like this are often not viable any more. Over here there seems to be an increasing number of places like this that sell specialist stuff - not cheap but good.
ReplyDeleteIt is very sad to see a place like this look so dilapidated, when you know it used to be such a vital thriving place. I like this picture, a lot! It sets such a mood and tells a story, too, of what once was, but is now gone.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you like this building and it is a pity it isn't open any longer.
ReplyDeleteI can see this market was once open with lot of fresh vegetables. Beautiful photo.

Great photo Shammie! I'm glad you stopped to take it. I love this old barn with the peeling paint and the warn colors. I wonder what the blues were? And the yellow must have been a sun, right? Too bad their farmers market isn't up and running anymore...but perhaps they sell their fresh fruits or veggies at a co-op or city farmers market where many farmers sell their harvest?
ReplyDeleteI think I recently read that we have 25 farmer's markets weekly. I know of 5 that I can walk to.
I agree that the faded paint is quite attractive!
ReplyDeleteLove the character of the barn. Too bad it's not open to buy all those varieties of goodies.
