We met a couple of aging structures full of character recently. Cyndie and I drove past this little number on our way to Rice Lake, WI via Hwy 8. I never tire of the texture and color of the weathered wood.
As we pressed on closer to our destination, we took a slight detour off the main drag to take a closer look at a barn we have admired from afar on a few different trips to Rice Lake.
We would have loved to poke around inside this old tattered barn. This, too, had some fantastic wood. I loathe the day when all we will see dotting the countryside is steel-sided farm buildings. I suppose if there is some rust involved that may rekindle my interest a bit.
We’ve been so busy this year-end holiday season that we haven’t been backroading in what seems like forever. Soon. As the weather [hopefully] will mellow out, there will be more opportunities to get out there and capture more structures like this. Yes, soon. Happy shooting everyone.

I’ve never seen anything quite like that last barn. It looks like a milking parlor with an upstairs.
That is one of thing things I like about old barns. Every once in a while you find one that is unique. For every unique one you see several regular ones. All have their own character, of course, but it is great to see something you have never encountered before.
Amazing photos, there certainly is something tantalising about old, well weathered barns. The could tell you so much if you know where to look. Well photographed series. ..But i started out with photo of car!! lost that somehow!
