Many of the old barns have not been painted for years now and are weathering into pretty grey colors.
Is this barn winking at us? Does it have a secret?
A little farm shed - no longer in use
The blackberries are coming!
A garage, a small barn, some Trumpeter Swans to the right - and a hammock to the left. Life is good
Just the barn - in a large hay field on the way to Stanwood, WA. Another day - another view - without the garage or the hammock.
Patched up but still standing
New tin roof
Old tin roof
Not a grey barn - but a very interesting new style of silo. It certainly covers a large amount of the farmland.
Chicken ranches used to be a big part of farming in our area - there are many long chicken houses still left standing - though only one chicken enterprise still operating - on a much larger scale than this would have been.
Still used for hay storage - the new roof keeps things dry during our rainy winters (and rainy autumns and rainy springs - and sometimes rainy summers).
This is a wonderful collection. If a barn here in central KY isn't black, then it is a weathered gray, much like these.
ReplyDeleteGreat barn photos!
ReplyDelete'Patched up but still standing' is my favorite
...JoAnn, do you ever have a bunch of barns of what! The first one has such a large roof and every short side walls, I would never see that in this area. "Patched up but still standing" is my favorite. Your "interesting new style of silo" looks to be a Harvestore, around here they are used to store liquid manure on large dairy farms. Thanks so much for being here, please stop back again.
ReplyDeleteIs that a huge liquid manure tank? They make them like that here.
ReplyDeleteThose boards on the diagonal are really interesting. I wonder if there's a practical reason for that. I certainly like the look of it.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, what a great bunch of barns...love the patched up one and just in general love them all.
ReplyDeleteWonderful collection of barns.
