Barn Charm: Got Milk?

Hubby and I are always taking off down unmarked country roads to see what we'll find. We live in the country and all our local roads are two lane except for the Interstate. The road to our local
Wal-mart is a two lane road. Last week we turned off that road onto one we hadn't yet explored in the five years we've been here not really expecting to find anything. Well, the Dairy Barn was a wonderful surprise.
(click and enlarge photos for a better view)
The barn is no longer associated with a working dairy but still stands in good shape surrounded by well kept fields. (Sorry about that little piece of tall grass in the center that got in the way of my lens.)
A better shot of the companion barn to the side.
The other side of the barn with the clear blue sky we had last week.

  2. Neat barn photos, Carletta... We are praying for West VA and that horrible storm... I know that snow is predicted in many areas. We may get a little snow here too....

  8. I like that last shot. It must have been quite a farm in it's day. I like the lettering on the front. It's fun to explore back roads. You never know what you'll find. Pamela

  13. Great pictures! It is sad though in a sense that so many old farms like this are going the way of the dodo bird. But wonderful to live in a place where you can see that!

  24. A fine barn complex to find and get to shoot. It's a great looking barn and amazing number of silos.

  25. Judging from those silos--some very hungry cows hung out here. A very nice setting. Especially like the way you captured the field grasses and weeds (with that little punch of color) near the barn.

  26. I do love this place, the dual silos, well that's the icing on the cake!
