Rusted roof Weathered Prairie Barn Fountain County Stone Bluff Indiana landscape Americana Collection

Weathered Prairie Barn – Americana Collection

This weathered prairie barn with a heavily rusted corrugated steel roof in Stone Bluff, Indiana, could be anywhere in the United States. Just last year, I saw and photographically documented similar scenes in at least half of the United State, including: Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia. As we close the year, I present the final installment of my 2020 photo essays depicting an all-too-common landscape from a contemporary rusting and weather-beaten America.
