I
enjoy taking pictures and am always on the lookout for a nice barn when we
drive or hike. As a child, my family would visit my Grandparents farm in
Iowa.
I
have such fond memories of my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended
family, neighbors, etc. on the farm. They include driving tractors,
bailing hay, feeding the cows, delivering a calf, driving pickup trucks,
turning on the windmill, sleeping in the barn, fishing in the creek, and lots
of critters. I think barn pictures may bring back those childhood memories.
I enjoy photos of old
and new barns. Not that red is the preferred color of a barn but “Isn't red the
preferred color of a barn”? There are many other barn colors including white,
yellow, and non-painted barns.
What about
photographing other farm buildings that aren't barns? Would they count if they
were red? I took a picture of a restored ice house next to a pond (a barn wanna
be). It was a pretty shot and I couldn't resist.
I
guess I'll be open to all barns or interesting farm buildings. I should really
plan a road trip through New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine to revisit some of
the barns I remember seeing but didn't take a picture of. Sunrise,
sunset, morning fog, rain. I take them as they are.
Kevin
thinks I should add farm equipment (only old and/or red equipment). What about
farm animals? There could be 2 more blog posts there.
Except for the 3 Iowa farm pictures, I have taken all of these barn pictures.

Click on the photo to enlarge. This is always a work in progress for me ...
Below are a couple barn pictures I took outside of New England.
I recently visited friends in PA and took some barn pictures. Below is a link to my blog post "Barn Hunting in York County, PA.
