While working for a small newspaper in Ohio, I managed to get this photo before the lightning started to set in before a storm. It reminds me of how I feel many people see the Midwest, a desolate farm land filled with lost buildings and barns. Any thoughts?

I think that many think this, especially about Ohio, because really Ohio is all farming community and run down buildings. In my small town called Roseville, we have about three or four shut down potteries, and one of them actually burnt down. We also have an old prison which is run down and kinda spooky, supposed to be haunted. As well as one of our two gas stations has went under not to mention our garage. Also most of the kids from my high school lived in the country, I went to one of the more "country" schools in my area. It is kinda sad though how factories, potteries and such close down. That used to be places were my family members worked. So stuff like that doesn't help the image of the Midwest.
great picture
The photo says it all. I agree with you for the most part. Most people, especially on the east coast think there is nothing in Ohio but farms.
Still a beautiful photo though. Good work.
