OLD BARN № 029
Even though the property was obviously not being used, I hesitated to go up there to inspect the rusty roof that keep beckoning to me because there was an inhabited house right across the road. One day, though, it just looked and "felt" right for a brief jaunt up the hill to the roof, which looked to be maybe 300 feet (90 meters) off the road.
When I got up there, it wasn't a conventional "barn" at all, but a rather small shed-like structure. Being that it was situated in a one-time pasture, though, it could have held a salt-lick for cattle, or some hay, or some sort of farming implements for repairing fences and such. It could have even been a pump-house for a well, for providing water to the cattle or horses that grazed in the pasture.
I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't any bigger, but when I later reported my finding to a friend and showed her the photo, she exclaimed, "It's a baby barn!" and that made me feel better! 😁
I did not think to make a photo from the road, looking up to where the "baby barn" was located. Looking at a current screenshot from Google Maps "Street View," the baby barn is no longer visible. I am not sure if it is no longer standing or if the trees (which are much taller than they were when I photographed the barn) are hiding the structure. I edited the roof of the barn into the screenshot to simulate what I saw when I first discovered it.

It's interesting, this hobby of barn hunting, with lots of little adventures!

Where do you find these gems? I image you always are on the look out for it seems to be a passion of yours!
I love what you do to your photos, making them a piece of art!
I still haven't got that story written about the old barn picture you did up for me, so lovely! It's still in my mind to do it though!
Thanks for sharing!

A baby barn lol I like that. Looking from the road you could easily miss it and that is quite a discovery. I hope you could take some shots from the inside the next time around.
I think about you every time I drive by an old barn. :)
I am loving your old barn photos. And equally loving what you do with them, very unique editing there!
hopefully the growth won't last long
