In Washtenaw county, which is where Ann Arbor is located, just west of Detroit, these barns were within a 25 mile radius of each other. I scouted them last year and kept records of where they were. Since the barns themselves don't have addresses I used the addresses on the rural mailboxes of farm houses nearby. A GPS got me to them efficiently on all the obscure backroads.
We have many barns within a 20 miles radius. I've often considered shooting them. You have motivated me.
Thanks,

What a great idea. Easily possible in my area as well, so I should get on it. I've been using Photo Pills to scout locations and determine the best time for the position of the sun.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Wonderful color saturation and contrast, subjects and PP work! I love old (and new) barns...

Maybe if you took the pictures in inclement weather they might be interesting also. One only has to get out in the weather and of course the camera must be weather proof.

These ten photo-scenic historical barns were shot in one day, Oct. 26, 2019 in Washtenaw county, Michigan. That was the only day in a two week period that we had full sun during the peak fall color season here. I scrambled like crazy to get these shots in. I was lucky. We didn't have another nice day like that before color season ended. An old photographer once told me bad Michigan weather is what makes good Michigan photos valuable.
Nice series

The mansard roofed one in number seven may outlive the rest.
It looks to be the only one with a lightning arrestor system.
