No longer serving their original purpose, many of the larger silos are covered in vines. The old barnyards stand unused and the one element that always seems a bit spooky to me is the ever present basketball hoop.
The mind wanders to a time when teenager farm boys shot some hoops after finishing their chores. In all my driving around and photographing I've never, ever seen anyone shooting hoops.

I had once wanted a silo so I could build my personal library in it, and I looked at a piece of land with an old brick silo. Don't like all of the stairs though.
If you drove by my place, you'd see a teenage boy shooting hoops in the dirt every day and a dad planning a concrete slab for ...parking of course...
