Traveling from Bend to Dayville, John Day, down to Haines and Burnes and back over to Bend reveals many abandoned buildings along the stretches of the highways.
This one is part of a cattle ranch and is fairly intact with some interesting features.
This house was built in the early 1950’s and was a place to stay for the cowboys who were out herding. Now “Painted Hills Beef” is considered by some as the best beef produced in the state of Oregon.

The section of Highway 20 in central Oregon runs between Bend and Burns and contains a number of interesting abandoned buildings. Here one of them is featured. The above building was shot in regular color, the same building below was changed to Sepia tone, giving the photo an older, turn of the 20th century look.

Now the same building in sepia tone.
I love the look of abandoned buildings, especially in the countryside that evokes better times in the past but currently has a almost haunted look about it.
