What’s funny is, as weird as the OP’s photo looked, that one looks like something out of Howl’s Moving Castle.
Hmpf! Mister, we obey the laws of physics north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
‘artifacts’ abound in images on the internet, most of which are quite innocent and unaltered.
OK, so this barn thing was indeed photoshopped, but that doesn’t really appear to have any connection with the presence or absence of artifacts. Jpeg images aren’t great at handling high-contrast edges, so lots of things can look photoshopped when in fact they are perfectly genuine.
You mean “Server not found” is genuine?
Good point. I get used to high-quality images, and I forget that nasty pixelation abounds in digital pictures.
Here’s another view: Panoramio is no longer available
The lower structure appears to be steel and no supports are shown.
In this one, it’s running under full power.
OK, OK, I confess! I’m not even very good at it.
I found a web site with a picture and some Russian comments.
Translation from Russian to English:
1st
Please help to find this small house, I have rummaged around everything, and this point and all around, anywhere it is not present!!! I so think that you were mistaken in coordinates, therefore I wish to correct for coordinate and at the same time you to me will help to find it…
2nd
Unfortunately in May of this year it dismantled, there was only bottom concrete part.
3rd
About dismantled: such at us in the country the attitude to true masterpieces of architecture…: (
4th
It was зерноочистительная the machine. MANAGER refers to. But kept on two support it is unreal. Similar that is forged in a photoshop.
5th - The translation is breaking down here.
If these photos are edited in a photoshop - mark, please, in the name of a photo. And that so has much appeared the deceived people…: (If фотошопные photos will expose all - the brothel will turn out. I ask you.
I think their saying it was dismantled and that would be why you see the two supports missing. The photo was published with Photoshop, so people think with the nature of the photo it has to be forged.
That photo is missing two supports that are in the photo in the OP. Now way that thing is real.

The above link is the one I took translations of Russian comments from. It has the missing supports and is a different person than the one with the supports in the lower link

The first guy Kyryl has many pictures from hiking and many impressive ancient buildings. There seem to be four guys in the pictures so likely five people hiked this.
The second guy Bosslet doesn’t seem to have taken that hike so is likely has nothing to do with the first person. Two people have the same photo with only the two supports different, so one has been changed. The building was torn down in May, but it’s only the two supports that seem to have been faked by one or the other.
The area of the photo is an industrial area, and the pictures of the town near by are full of ugly utilitarian buildings.
You might want to check those links.
Can somebody have the moderator kill the links please. The url box in Firefox doesn’t change correctly with tabs since the new version. You have to refresh before the link copy, not to have this happen. I ask for the disabling because the second link opens a reply window for this thread. Thank you.
1st link should be:

A tin roof is preferable to a shingled roof.
On my family farm the 100+ year old barn had a tin roof installed on the north side only. The reason for the half-completed job was that my ancestors only had the cash to do one side of the barn at the time. The south side had cedar shakes which had almost entirely vanished over the years. The building was rotting on the south side. My brother and I climbed up there, bolted on new 2 by 8’s to the existing support rafters (which were roughly cut logs) and put on a new tin roof. Should last another 100 years now. Just sayin.
The north side roof was installed about 40 years ago and is showing little sign of wear.
If/when I build/buy a house it WILL have a metal roof. Shingles are for chumps.
Og bless you, Mangetout! I laughed hysterically for five minutes (literally) when I saw that picture. I haven’t had that good a laugh in years.
Yeah, but judging from the artifacting on the fifth blade of grass from the left in the lower right hand corner, I think that image is a fake.
Judging from the guy that posted it, I know it’s fake 
You know, somewhere there will be a board discussing this picture and the possibility it is photoshopped.
