This is yet another barn from the weekend Hubby and I spent in October in the surrounding countryside near Cass, West Virginia. Enlarge the photo to see the way the barn boards were hung on the diagonal. You can look through the hayloft opening and see the light streaming through the boards on the backside of the barn. A small glimpse of a built-in wooden ladder can be seen through the left side opening as well as some support beams.
Wishing all my readers a very Happy New Year!

A picturesque old barn. Happy New Year too.
Lovely old barn and still working I see. I like the pattern of the wood on the front.
Someone did a lot of extra work when decide to have the boards on a angle.
Let's see: I'll have to look back in my archives and see if I have this one...! ;)
Very pretty shot with the golden grass/crop in the front and green trees in the background.
Those train ride weekends really supplied us with lots of barn photos, didn't they??
I swear....I would LOVE to see all these kinds of scenes you share with your Barn Charm posts. Around the city, you just don't see the beauty of the countryside.
Thanks for visiting.
love those diagonal lines...did you get snow? it missed us :(
i LOVE the way they did those barn boards!!! so fancy! :)
This is a yet another photogenic barn you have there Carletta, I SO enjoy this series!
Happy New Year to you too!
Looks like a very old barn ! I love barns I find them romantic !
Love this one! These are my favorite scenes to capture! You seem to have a lot of cool country scenes within your reach! You are lucky! I hope these old barns never disappear....but of course, they will!
Oh I love it when they turn the boards like that... makes it that much more beautiful! I bet there's lots to see inside that ol barn!
Thank you very much for joining, much appreciated! =)
This is a very charming barn. The diagonal boards were the first thing I noticed, even before I read your comments. I like all the detail in the enlarged photo.
I noticed the diagonal slant to the boards right away. I think that adds to strength.
Neat barn for Barn Charm.. I love seeing all of the different barns. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,

Great barn find! Happy Barn Charm!
The diagonal boards are certainly eye catching. But, am I the only one who thinks they are done the wrong way? Wouldn't they normally be pointing UP?
The enlargement revealed much more of the features of this fine barn shot. I really like the diagonal board construction. Nice one.
Happy New Year, Carletta. This is a great barn and I love the diagonal boards.
I see huge hays underneath ^_^ Happy New Year!

What a neat looking barn! Nice find!
That really adds to the look of the barn! Nice catch!
What a wonderful barn. It has such terrific detailing! Thanks for pointing out what to look for--it was like looking at one of those hidden picture activities my kids used to do!:>) This is a beautiful setting and a great shot!
Did you guys get any sleep on that trip?????? I think you were up 24 hours a day with the old camera....only kidding, but couldn’t resist it. This is a fine find. Like the angles of the boards and the NO paint. Are you all surviving the cold. We are freezing over here. Going to Douthat the 2nd of Feb for 3 nights to do the yearly celebration of my birthday.....73 this year. Eloise will be here with Gene and mom. Cannot wait. Hope to hit WVA one day....will keep you posted...gotta see that darn barn. genie
Great photo and post for SWF,Carletta!I hope you had a good start into the new year and have a nice weekend!
Interesting view with this type of building! So very different from everything I have seen before.
Batns are always interesting!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Truly a masterpiece!! I am always amazed when someone brings so much art to such an ordinary construction!!
