More Barns in the Sun
I'm continuing my series of barns around the neighbourhood here, and again managed to get some pictures in the sun. The more I look at all these barns, the more questions I get. Are the barns still in use? What would I find inside? How interesting is the construction? This could become a life-long interest!
This isn't really a red barn, but a reddish-brown, but it looks nice across the field, and it seems to be still in use.
This is a large horse barn, the original bank barn visible behind the tree, but a large riding arena on the right. It also is not red, but brown.
I can always count on seeing a small group of black Aberdeen Angus out in front of this barn, usually clustered around the bale of hay.
This is the largest barn I drive by regularly, appearing to be a large extension built on a smaller original bank barn. Unfortunately I've seen no evidence of it still being used.
And to finish, here's a bright red barn. I usually take photos as close as I can, to show the details, like below, but I'm finding more and more that I like the more distant shots like this one which show the context (and can show more blue sky).
Which do you prefer?

The one with the Angus cattle before it reminds me very much of my cousin's barn.
ReplyDeleteAll are wonderful photos but I do prefer the scenic barn shots . I love barns to as I was raised on a farm and we had a wonderful barn it was my favorite place to be , Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteLucky you, sun shine. Please send some south of the border. The second from the last is my favorite. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteLove all your snowy barn scenes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful barns! I like the distant shots as they also include the trees and fencing, and cows or other farm animals.
ReplyDeleteI first of all like barn shots. I also like well focused distant shots.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, love all of these. And barns are a life-long interest. I will be 60 yr. old this year, and I don't remember a time that I didn't love barns.
ReplyDeleteFabulous barns - just love the snow and barns together.
ReplyDeleteNice series of barns. It is not always easy to get good images of barns.
ReplyDeleteYou could start a country by country theme on this! The barns in Norway, I think , would be worthy. Nearly all are red and wooden. A great share, good theme and fabulous photos. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteMy favourite, #2, but the one showing trees and fences is in my opinion, better than a closer shot, giving perspective, and a reality to the landscape. All lovely, and what stories they could tell.
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but I also like the ones with more context. The next to last one is my favorite. :-)
ReplyDeleteMore great barn pictures. I like the barn from father away best too.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful. There's something about a red barn against the backdrop of that white snow...
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all your barn photos. I love red barns against white snow!
ReplyDeleteThat's what's missing from my South Georgia barn... Beautiful snow! But then the Canada geese would have to fly further south! Beautiful barns... Fantastic photos! Smiles...Susan
ReplyDeleteI am loving the snow you all are sharing, although, I wouldn't love it if it were here in Alabama. I try to take a close up and a couple of landscapes. Sometimes traffic doesn't allow. And I'm too bashful to get out of the car even if there is a place to park it. Thanks for joining this week!
ReplyDeleteWell, like the mall, but the bank barn with extension has nice angles and textures.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose, but I think the first one catches my eye the most. It could be the way it's nestled in by the trees.

These are gorgeous barn shots. Love the shadows and the light - such high contrast between the snow and the bare trees and barns. I like the first one particularly well.
