As you cycle across the country, or any short distance thereof, you will see mostly barns and houses, old and new.
Taking pictures of old barns and sheds is one of my favourite hobbies and I have lots of pics of old barns, many of which have since disappeared.
This one, Keogh's, was on Morrison Point Road for all of the years that I lived there.
Now it is gone, along with all of the original farmers from that road, as well.
Old barns are going down all over the country. Only a few are being preserved.
Farmers don't need big barns anymore because they wrap their hay in garish white plastic and leave these gigantic bales outside.
Even though cows give off enough heat to keep warm in unheated barns in the heart of winter, smaller barns seem to be taking over.
Perhaps, one day, photographers will be snapping pictures of the last of them.
