Here in New Zealand, I have many photos of similar places and wonder about them all--why, when, who deserted them.<br />Great post.<br /><br><br><a href="https://myworldthrumycameralens.blogspot.com/search/label/MCoW" rel="nofollow">My Corner of the World</a> betty-NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950300478215339641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343122535318547716.post-16899201690112180152019-08-15T16:01:23.227-07:002019-08-15T16:01:23.227-07:00I'm totally intrigued by abandoned places.

They make for bittersweet photography, but generally I like the images and the mood. Like you, I can never figure out why they are still standing. We have little abandoned homestead cabins in the desert, and I often wonder who (if anyone) is paying the property taxes? Why hasn't the county reclaimed them?

Some might have it for the kitchen only or the master bedroom. When I moved to Texas in the 70’s I ate dinner at several people’s houses who did not have air conditioning at all, just lots of box fans blowing the hot humid south Texas air around. It was kind of miserable. <br />I think the reason that lots of farmhouses are abandoned is economics. I don’t think that 40 acre to 80 acres farms are economics. It’s all about economies of scale now. Farming is done on a massive scale with a lot less people that what it used to take. The other thing is that lots of people don’t want to live out in the boonies any longer. I think there is a counter trend going on right now. Many of my relatives in South Dakota who moved to the big city, got sick of it and are now going back and renovating houses and making a living, with smaller incomes but happier lives.<br />Thanks for an interesting postYogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343122535318547716.post-4601994184482830632019-08-15T11:58:10.382-07:002019-08-15T11:58:10.382-07:00I find abandoned homes fascinating and sad.I find abandoned homes fascinating and sad.Carol @Comfort Spring Stationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308702098757071897noreply@blogger.com
