Some pleasant memories...

of our recent trip to Ohio. While exploring the countryside, we encountered a beautiful little building sitting right beside the road. It turned out to be Linn School. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the grounds. The school is only open to the public a few days a year so we could only look through the windows. The pictures are self explanatory. The group of silos was in the distance behind the school. We noticed that it was hazy most of the time while we were in Ohio. I'm not sure why. I spotted this barn more than once along a busy road as we wandered around and each time it made me smile. Finally, on our way to the airport, we did a pull over. I didn't want to return home without it!

There was one of these on each side of the school. His & hers?

I like this one in B&W. This was in the distance and very hazy.

The happiest barn in Ohio! This required a roadside pull over!

Color version - not sure which I prefer.

Love the school and barn. Not much diff in the silo pics. Just some green. Probably best to leave it in b&w.

The b&w grain bins have a bit of mystery about them if you aren't familiar with the shapes. An apparition of sorts 
The green of the color version gives more a sense of reality. Either way, great choice to leave in the haze!

Thank you! The school is well maintained and charming. The barn grabbed my attention the first time I saw it. I don’t know the owners but they must be fun people.

Lots of personality in this lovely post, Carol! Beautiful photography, and I lean a bit toward the black/white version of the silos. It has the look of bygone days...

Thank you, Donna. I was fascinated by the silos. It looks like quite a large operation.

Amazing little school. Thanks for sharing parts of your trip. We very much enjoyed our time in Ohio earlier this month. Very good roads and road signs, friendly people.

You do a good tour, Carol!
Thank you, Mike. This wasn’t a photography trip. I had to grab shots here and there when I could.
