Old man's red barn

This old farmer was standing outside his barn working as we stopped to photograph it alongside the highway. He came over and talked with us for awhile and commented that many people stop and admire his barn.

This beautiful, half-stone barn appeared out of nowhere around a corner. It took us by surprise and was worth the effort to climb through the weeds along the roadside. When we first saw the barn, it had several horses out front. But when we were finally able to get the shot, the horses were gone.

This is another angle of the stone barn. I would have liked this one more if the phone lines weren't in the shot. Those evil phone lines are our enemy when it comes to these gorgeous barns.

This old barn is down the road from our family and has seen better days. We know the shot is a little overexposed, however, we liked the setting. It's near an Amish family farm that sells dairy products.

This is another barn close to our family. It's hard to see the horse standing in the doorway. I had to stand on my car's doorjam to shoot over the weeds.

Dead tree barn

This is my favorite find from the trip. The highway that we were driving was very desolate and barren. This barn appeared on the horizon out there by itself, nothing around for miles except for a few scattered oil wells. I loved the old dead tree. It gave even more character to the setting.

Here is a head-on shot, looking towards the West. This would have been a better shot with a sunset in the background.

Same barn again, looking to the East. Not sure which angle is the front or the back

This is how it appeared as we were driving towards it. Not much around. To me, the setting looked like a painting.
