More Barns

I saw something quite interesting but kinda on the gross side the other afternoon as I was pulling out of the driveway. When I got back to the house I hollered to AD to come see what was across the road. I just happened to have my camera with me and took some photos thinking I might do a posting. When I mentioned that to AD he kind of rolled his eyes and asked if I didn't think it was kind of a gross thing to put in my blog. So, while I'm still considering that as a possibility I thought I'd show you 5 more of the barns that I was able to snap photos of as we were making our way back home from Branson.

I love that this barn is part rock and part wood.




Even though you only see the roof of this barn I liked the picture. Maybe it's the barb wire fence. Anyway I just like the photo.

This barn looked like it was built with brick instead of rock. And isn't that little extra room on the side cute? I wonder what it's for.

The color on this barn was really nice.

The shape of this barn was interesting. Kind of like some military buildings I've seen before but can't recall their name - something like kwanzaa huts? But I could be totally wrong on that so forgive me if that's the case.

That's it for now. I'll continue debating with myself on the issue of the gross but interesting thing I took pictures of. If I do decide to post it there will be a warning at the top and the photo will be further down in the post.

As We Go Rolling Along

One of the ways I like to pass the time when AD and I are driving down the road is to look for old barns. There's just something about them that calls to me and I've always thought that I should have my camera ready to snap pictures of them. Up until this past weekend I haven't ever done that. Don't know why - I just hadn't.

As it turned out I took pictures of over 20 barns on our trip to Branson. There are many more between here and there but sometimes we just came upon barns and I wasn't quick enough on the snap.

Here are 5 of my favorites. Please know that I was taking them through a bug splattered windshield and out my rolled-up window. If you see some glare or bits of bugs or the photo isn't too straight, just know the pictures were taken while we were going about 65-70 mph. Some cropping and a little bit of color correction was done to make the pictures a tiny bit better than straight out of the camera.

Old barn wood is just plain lovely to me.



Peeling barn paint appeals me too - no pun intended, yeah, right!

Silos are pretty neat too even if they are no longer of any use.

Seeing the old in the shadow of the new made a good photo.

This barn is obviously falling down but the fact that the photo was taken at an angle didn't help matters any. There was only so much correction that could be done.

Obviously I don't know the owners of any of these barns but if you happen to recognize one - and what a coincidence that would be - please let the owner know that I think their barn is wonderful.

That concludes the tour of Kansas and Missouri barns for today. Plans are to post a few more sometime soon.
