Landscapes have a language of their own, expressing the soul of the things, lofty or humble, which constitute them, from the mighty peaks to the smallest of the tiny flowers hidden in the meadow’s grass.

Hay Barns… 😉
Excellent, love barns… 😉
Me too ! I need to go barn hunting more often. I’m trying to find at least two a month.
oh, there are so many wonderful barns about here in arkansas. there’s one i’d really love to shoot, but it’s in a busy location, just off the interstate here in town. but barns make wonderful subjects, and these are terrific photos, emily!
I bet you have some really interesting barns in Arkansas. Did they grow tobacco there? I appreciate your kind support on these photos. Hard to mess up a great subject.
Barns are something the US has all over us, our barns, well we call them sheds are crap really, not very often you find one that shows any imagination, so I love seeing the ones you and others post.
I find this totally fascinating. I just figured that these kind of barns are everywhere in the world. Although this is from a previous era and are gradually decaying. I’m so happy to share these treasures with you then.
Australian’s have sheds, not barns, they are nearly always made of corrugated iron, older ones of wood, but basic, they weren’t built to be pretty, sheds are for storing stuff in. We Aussie’s love our corrugated iron. haha. So I am even happier looking at your barns they are fascinating.
Where my parents are in WV and how I drive there from VA the landscape is littered with barns. I have debated on doing a project with my bigger lenses and just shooting them. If you really want to overdose on barns drive out Route 7 West past Leesburg into Winchester. Then find Route 259 into VA/WV and you will be in barn photography heaven. I’m sitting on like 20 unprocessed because I was in my phase of I can’t shoot a landscape or literally the broad side of a barn to save my life.
You are too funny ! I bet you can do something with those old images now. Make them funky…crop like heck! It sounds beautiful where your parents are. Indeed it sounds like a picture perfect road trip.
I love old barns, and these images are a couple of great shots. Love these!
Thank you so much AJ, you are too sweet. Also, thanks for the tweet the other day. 🙂
I come from rural America so I am always intrigued by barn photos…Love your photos.
I think you came from the midwest right? I bet the barns out there are spectacular and full of character. Thanks Charlie.
Your barn photos are always very good, you’re tempting me to start shooting a few.
Oh you should ! I would love to see the barns in your area.
nice to see barns on other countries…ours in Yorkshire are mostly old stone buildings, nothing of the grandeur of yours….great photos by the way!
I can just imagine how charming the stone barn buildings are in Yorkshire. This part of the country was founded on a lot of farming, in particular tobacco, thus the large barns.
your barn photos are great… as always 🙂 i wish there would be barns around vienna as well 😉
You are so sweet Evi. I’m so happy to share these with you and also wish you could find barns in Vienna as well.
Beautiful structures – love the settings and camera angles.
You are so kind Mary. These are wonderful barns, and I was lucky to find them. It was totally by accident and I took some quick photos. Imagine what I would find if I actually worked at it?
Loving your captures – makes me want to escape to the country and hang with the farm animals:)
Oh you should Renee ! Either that or the lovely vineyards that you get to enjoy.
Be in Wine Country in a few weeks time and cannot wait:) Love the baby animals this time of year!
Really lovely…. I have such a soft spot for these old barns. I’m always sad to see them in disrepair, but you and I know the kind of money it can take to bring them to full working (safe) order. 🙂
it is so very true, and since these are tobacco barns, it’s even more involved. Thanks sweetie!
More barns, please, with baby Owls. 😛
That would be awesome ! I need to get brave and be willing to trespass a bit to look inside of these barns for owls.
Be brave, be very brave…..
