Old Farms Photography

Black and White Farmhouse

Another angle on the old farmhouse east of Colorado Springs. The color version is just so much less interesting and doesn't convey any sort of emotion. On the other hand, a black and white rendition is far more captivating.

End of the Road

Been photography this site for about 3 years, and today as I was setting up for my photo shoot along the country road, out drives the owner is his old and well used Bronco. He's a 4th generation farmer on this land, and was born and raised in the area. I asked if it it'd be alright for me to hang out and wait for the the sun to set, to which he said not at all. As he was driving off, he reminded me of rattle snakes in the area and how he had to kill a couple the other day.

Old Stable Under a Crimson Sky

About 40 minutes east of Colorado Springs is an old stable and corral. Despite its old appearance and lack of real functional use, cattle still visit the windmill watering hole. It's also possible they use the structure as a wind block in the winter.

Abbott Church

Abbott Church defines nowhere. This place is really out there. I can hardly imagine a family attending service here nearly a hundred years ago. It must have been at least a days trek, there and back. At leas they had an outhouse once they arrived.

Abbott Church Under Beaming Sun Rays

Hard to believe, but this was not photo-shopped. The sun rays are real. A couple years back, Colorado and the neighboring States had some horrible forest fires, and all the smoke traveled down the front range of the Rocky Mountains and out east. On this day, the smoke was particularly bad, but made for some interesting sun rays.

Abbott Church, Old and Abandonded

What out east, far away from any civilization is an old abandoned church, called Abbott Church. It was built in 1917 and used as a multi-denominational place of worship for many years. I can barely imagine where anyone came from to attend any services held here. The little outhouse is most odd.

Very Old Wooden Farmhouse

Another old building not close to any towns or reasonably sized civilized areas. Sadly, the owners of the land on which this farmhouse survived bulldozed the entire plot such that nothing remains. Old structures like this are an endangered species.

This Old Barn

And old barn in a meadow on the eastern plains of Colorado.

Jet Flying Over Farmhouse

The old and the new, a jet flies over an old farmhouse. As mentioned in another photo's description, this is a great place to visit any time of year. The sun sets to the west over the Rocky Mountains casting some great colors and shadows.

Old Farmhouse on the Prairie

This is an extremely photogenic old house on the eastern plains of Colorado just south of Ellicott. The sun sets to the west casting some great colors and shadows across the landscape.

Old House in Falcon, CO

This old farmhouse can be found just south of Falcon, CO on HWY 24. No one lives there (or at least, no one is supposed to), but recently I've seen trash and other debris piling up outside the old house. Ruins any future photos until it's cleaned up.
