Thanks, SUnnybuck, for a very interesting challenge. Such interesting barns and I bet we've barely scratched the surface.

Wow, I like these. The first one is curious. It appears that someone has been helping themselves to the 1" x 4" tongue and groove exterior cladding. The interior framing is in really good shape and not deteriorated much at all. I had to do a doubt take on this one. The second one is really different too. Thanks for sharing.

I realize this is a day late and I'll remove it if requested. This barn is North of Marshall, TX. I stopped to get a picture of it when I realized the fence had the same emblem as the cross bar above the gate and I couldn't pass this shot up. Because of the height I had to hold the camera at mid-thigh level so I wasn't able to frame it as well as I wanted and had to depend on auto focus. I plan on going back to get it shot properly since I was rushed and the kids were waiting in the car. I took this with a Nikon D5300 and a 35mm lens. I am considering using my 18-55 lens next time since I couldn't back up without standing in the road just over the crest of a hill. The emblem was not level so I had to chose to straighten the foreground or the background. Suggestions on how I could do it better are welcome.

I'm up in Newfie for a couple of months RR, my wife's home. We still have a lot of snow and the harbor is still mostly iced in.

It was a tough situation especially when you're on the roadside and have wiggly kids in the car. Wonder if there is another angle in which the emblem would have only the sky behind it. Keep experimenting - best way to learn

I like to take photos of old barns, old houses also when you take them I try to visiualize what they looked like in the past. Loved your photos. Ron Ho

Anyone ever notice that when you are driving around looking for pics, you never get to take the best ones because there's no place to park?

There is a definite 'Yes' from me to your question about parking.
My wife and I took a quick ride around the other day looking for
barns I could take pictures of, and that was pretty much my
problem. Then, even though there was hardly much, if any traffic
on the roads, most times when I'd stop to try to take a picture,
here would come the traffic.
Anyway, thanks for my favorite type of subject matter; and looking
at the number of pages of comments and photos, I am not the only
one who likes it. Makes me want to get back out there - I Love It . . .

I have never posted anything here, but I do like the way this photo of a barn in Idaho turned out. Here it is.
