Abandoned Country House 3

Another beautiful weather day.  A friend and I spent the afternoon driving around looking for photo ops.

We came upon this abandoned house.  Sadly we couldn't get any closer because of the locked gate and the barbed wire, but I think the image  looks great anyway.

Stone Marker

This is one of the three markers indicating the site of the Belle Plaine College that existed in the late 1800s just a short distance down the road.

The marker says there were up to 300 students enrolled.  Difficult to imagine.

Up and Over

I saw this set of steps going over the barbed wire fence as I was driving down a country road.  I made a quick U-turn to get back there and make some images of the steps and the small silo inside the fence.  

How interesting~~the barbed wire fence is in place to keep out intruders, but there was easy access up and over the steps.  Weird.

I'm grateful today:

the the spontaneous visit to my daughter's house not far from this spot
