I like colour and patterns, so weathered things fascinate me. These pictures were all taken in the American South, from top to bottom: Jackson, Mississippi; New Orleans, Louisiana; a hamlet in the Arkansas Delta; Austin, Texas.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Weathered

like these – the kind of subjects that catch my eye when I’m in photo mode!
The horse’s head almost looks like it’s been knitted 🙂
its great – if you like those kind of pics, have a look at The Spare -https://julzcards.wordpress.com/julz-cards/odds-sods/
there are a couple on there – smile
My dad told me once that our ancestors were horse thieves, so I guess I have a sort of ancestral connection to that hitching post too. But the wagon at the top is what speaks to me; it looks like the beat-up but magical wagon that was in an empty lot near my home when I was little. I wasn’t supposed to climb on it, but of course the descendant of horse thieves couldn’t be trusted when no one was looking. “Weathered” is a lovely word for something with a story, yes?
It is. I like the wagon too. I didn’t have one to play with but would have been in the seventh heaven if I had.
Absolutely lovely
Thanks, Derrick.
I loved the weathered look as well. And anything with old barns are my favourite.
I think I need more weathered barns pictures 🙂
Agreed.
I really like that hitching post.
I could imagine it being used as a colour reference for a paint collection.
Ha ha 🙂 probably!
