Today's wood series is inspired by old Tobacco Barns. It may not be know that here in the Northeast there are still many tobacco barns that still stand from the days when it was widely produced here. I think all of these pictures though were taken in places down south. I love that they are these positively huge relics that still stand in half grown over fields, watching over the land after they've been abandoned, or just waiting out the season till the work and the sweat return to their walls. A testament to the wood that made them, and the labor that lives all around it's being.
I attended The National Biodynamic Conference back at the start of October, and during the first day there was a half day offering of a gathering for young people, farmers, and those involved in agriculture. The first activity that we did was to answer the question "If you were a beehive, where would you live?" I answered that I would live in the corner of an old abandoned tobacco barn in North Carolina, next to an old oak tree.
Where would you live?
