Barn of 100 cats. (Explore) - a photo on Flickriver

            I was outside the property standing on an old public road  clicking away at this old barn admiring how beautiful it was when an old truck that rattled and spewed black smelly exhaust  pulled up next to me. Humans can be unpredictable I didn't know if the old geezer that got out  sucking on his foul smelling cigar was going to be nice or not. He must have been close to 100 as was the bucket of bolts. He yells out young lady (now I smile, chuckle, I aint no young lady neither young nor always a lady.) What are you doing?!. He does a stare down as I explain I like to photograph old barns. He went into a tirade about the" tenant "of the property who had well over 100 cats, all over the "d "place he yelled. Ok then it was time to go. His parting remark made me stop and look over and say to him that is a sad story . He glared locking eyes then said the tenant was his daughter and she (wasn't right in the head) his words, so she was as he said put somewhere.  Though I try to be invisible around humans as to not be bothered they have some kind of radar and find me to share their story . The property was abandon for some time. I could barley glimpse the beautiful old cottage near the back of the property covered in foliate and trees looking forlorn and definitely forgotten for a very long time. Everyone and everything has vibes, this place was just pure sadness. Though the stranger was quite combative  all these years later it was covering something else-pain. I wished him a good day which made him almost smile but not quite and went to my car to head home.
