Default Old & Broken

Cattle Ramp

Some things cannot stand the test of time. It will fall eventually and indeed needs to be propped up. An old cattle ramp used years ago standing in the middle of no where. All things have moved on.

This is a reminder of the passing of time. Who built this? How many cattle have passed through it? How long before it disappears? Each year seems to pass with the blinking of an eye. Pictures like this motivate me to do more, see more, quickly. "TEMPUS FUGIT"
Thanks for this and God bless. PAUL

The title fits the picture and picture is the title, excellent capture and presentation of a very simple yet interesting slice of history enhanced by sepia colouration, nicely done dvetter
