This was sent to me by a friend.  I do not know the location or people.  It's a crack-up.
Old barn and out building slowly crumbling to earth.  The old farm house is not seen but it too was abandoned and in disrepair.  If only you could hear the stories of the people who built the barn, farmed the land, and lived their lives.
Here is a small version of the Mosaic.
