Here's one for Jack. About 7 miles SE of Roscoe, SD, 11/16/11.

Oops, should have selected Photo Fridays.

Wow! That sure does't look like North Georgia. I could let my pups run loose there. Oh Well. Gerald:crying:

William Inge A Level Land
"Men in the prairie states have long had to deal with forces they cannot always control. They often have to surrender to these forces and deal with them as best they can. This surrender to forces greater than one's self cannot but create a humility in human character that is a part of all religious faith. Prairie people, most of them descendants of Puritan (and Methodist) New Englanders or of God-fearing Scandinavians or Central Europeans, know and live with the knowledge that man is not all-powerful. The general tendency in this land is to be conservative in all things, and to be suspicious of all extremists."

Fred: Thanks for starting this thread. I do enjoy stumbling across these structures and the thoughts they evoke of a bygone era and the hardy resolve of those who lived in an environment of such extremes. Primitive shelter by today's standards but a happy home for someone.

This one is a favorite. About 20 miles north of Ambrose ND, which puts it in Saskatchewan. It is now home to upland birds, mostly undisturbed but for a few visits by CHARLIE and me.

Cheers,
Jack

You guys make me want to follow the loneliness of the human heart and abandon my happy hearth for the cold and severe ,windy, and heart breaking
failures of the agricultural expansion of our estate. What the hell, I'm ready! David
