Really cool old barn

Drove by this site today and remembered this old barn that was there in the 80's. Barn is totally gone now, salvaged for the wood, but at least I had these old 35mm prints of it. Too bad the place was let go for so long, you just don't see buildings like this anymore, especially with the full round roof.

The tight shoot of the slumping roof is really nice. Glad you saved the shots, too bad the beautiful old barn was not saved. Another victum of pole barns and tilt-ups.

Thank you Ian. Shot this with my old Nikon F2 and a Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm f2.8 zoom. People used to say those Vivitars were garbage but I took some very nice shots with mine back in the day.

Nice shots. I love old barns. I used to live on a place with a big old barn, complete with barn owls. Yeah, we should be photographing them while they're still standing.

maybe you could get some of that wood to frame the photo with
Not from that barn, long gone. But I do have some old barnwood planks in the garage, might have to make a frame up and see what it would look like! Thanks for the idea.
