I hadn't had a chance to check out Virtual Paintout for a couple of months. I participated a while back, and I hope to again soon. Essentially, a part of the world is chosen, and using Google StreetView you explore the area, and find a composition to paint (it's a lot of fun). They change destinations each month, so I'm going to wait until November to participate again. October's destination is Croatia, so I thought I would explore a bit for the fun of it. The abandoned farmhouses are pulling at my heartstrings something fierce. They are beautiful.
This little shack might have been a shed, but I think it was a home.

And this house is really interesting because part of the facing has fallen off and you can see how it was built.

This building appears to have a house above, and barn space below. Note the chickens and ramp up to the little doorway a la chicken coop style.

A lot of the properties have fences that surround the house and barns, and gates at the road. They have my perfect set up. The rustic-ness of the architecture makes me swoon.

I am going to continue to look around, but I'll quit this post here. If I don't, I fear that this post may have fifty pictures before it's said and done.
