Old boats and barns

[Cpo1944]

Photbiker does Post Offices, I do rusty metal and rotten wood.
The coastal gun battery and rusty magazine door is at Fort Monroe at Hampton Va. The boat is there too but the old tobacco barn is near Frisco NC.
I actually photograph what-ever catches my eye, but I do like old stuff a lot.

Nice barn all it needs is a roof. We have a lot of old gun mounts we had 16" guns behind our house and in front.

more stuff

44343 was retired years ago and is languishing on the hard in Beaufort NC. In the close up it looks like she is shedding a tear from her spray rail. The Pirate property is in Marshallberg NC I can't decide if they just can't spell or do they think they are kin to Black Beard?
The harbor scene is in Gallants channel Beaufort - one of those exceeding rare times when I got up before the SUN

Those are some very nice photos. I enjoy photography but don't have as much time as I would like to pursue the hobby. Maybe one day, but for now I can enjoy what you and other photographers post to the forum.

Very nice. I enjoy snapping old vehicles in tall grass and old buildings as they have a story that the viewer can fill in.

Old boats would be cool but that's kinda hard to come by here.

I also like the old barns. And churches, steam trains and scenery.
Not so many boats!
Was up at Ft. Monroe once. The Army escorted us down into a underground briefing room which had been built as a powder bunker.

Agreed. Sometimes stories just come into my head when I see that sort of thing. A friend in Alabama sends me photos of abandoned barns, houses and general stores. They put me into time travel, back to my long-ago boyhood in Tennessee.

Those are very nice.

I liked this old barn that stood for many years along I-5 in the Chehalis, Washington area. It was not very popular with the weaker sex however.

You mean men? Remember, women usually outlive us in spite of having the stress of putting up with our strange fondness for guns and stuff.

I've heard that we usually die before them because we want to.
I'll also see an old decrepit farm house or maybe just a standing chimney and wonder who grew up and lived there? What did they do in life? Where are they or their children now?
I've always been that way about old things....what's its story?
When boating with my Grandfather down the Maurice river in NJ, I'd be fascinated at the old trawlers pulled up along the beach rotting away.
Thanks for the pictures!
