About gone… An outbuilding on a small farm in Roslyn WA is on its way down. A few more heavy winter snows and it will surely be a pile of lumber. I love the rich burnt sienna and burnt umber rust and browns of the weathered wood. If I could ever build a house, I’d love to leave the wood raw to weather slowly to these beautiful colors!
Wow, it won’t be long now…
Yes… just a few more heavy snows…
Very nice photo. Amazing that there is still glass in some of the windows.
Yes… that some has some survived this long!
Maybe the bush growing inside will hold it up a wee bit longer!
Yeah, I saw that too… obviously the floor is toast too!
Wonderful rich colors, Madge. I like the three panes of glass in one window and three missing in the other. A very nice balance.
You are so observant… somehow I hadn’t see that symmetry! ;-)
These places always make me sad. We have a few here that I would have to repair and allow them to live several more years.
I think it’s beyond help… but that beautiful wood could be re-used in another project… like a wall in my family room! ;-)
that wood would make beautiful coffee table……..

P.S. thanks for popping by and commenting.
Yes… it would make a beautiful table… good idea!
I agree. Beautiful colors. I like the look of weathered fences also. Looks so much cooler than painted!
There is something so appealing about those natural colors…
You have to wonder what kinds of stories houses like these might tell. . .who lived here? What did they do? Why was it abandoned?
I wonder those same things… were they happy, was life too hard??
Thanks for your visit over to my place. I see we’re attracted to the same type of subject matter!
Hi Kathy… I liked your place and I agree we seem to be drawn to similar subjects. :-)
Thank you for stopping by my blog….I’ll be sure to visit you!
Thanks, Maria for the return visit!
If only those old buildings could talk…it’s sad to see them fall into such disrepair! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Uncared for they all eventually collapse… sad but true.
I was surprised by the window panes. Is it on private property? It’s interesting how a house just slowly disappears over the years like this one. Kind of sad.
It is rather surprising that the windows survivied and the roof and floor are gone…
Very beautiful and wabi sabi.
Thanks, Debra…
Too bad you can’t take the wood and turn it into something.
That is what I always think about, using the wood in way of remembrance.
Thank you so much for stopping by this evening.
I will be linking up with you, thanks for the invite.
Thanks, Kim… I’d love to have that wood!
I’d love to snoop around inside.
What would we find?? An old tire, horseshoe, some clothes pins in a coffee can??
Great shot. Thanks for your kind comments over at my place. Your photos expecially move me, because I spent my early childhood in the Pacific Northwest. Keep up the beautiful documentation!
Thanks, Cathy!
That beautiful wood should be claimed and rebuilt into something gorgeous don’t you think Madge!! Recycled timber, if it’s not all rotten I guess, is brilliant. Lovely find.
I agree, Grace…. let go get that wood!
just needs a lick o paint, thanks for the comment too!
A whole lot of paint!!! Lol!
Your photographs are beautiful!
Thank you, Allison! :-)
A real piece of history. Do love the weathered wood.
Yes, I do too… I could see that covering a wall in my family room…!
Beautiful pic.
Thank you so much, Jen!
Ah yes… this cabin does look to be on its last legs. But I love the way you’ve photographed it!
Thanks…
