This is the second barn in my
Scottsbluff, Nebraska collection.
It sits in a corralled area all by its lonesome.
No other buildings.
No livestock. No signs of life, save a few birds in the trees.
I didn't get a sense that it's abandoned.
Although it's elderly, it's still in good shape.
As is the fence.
Quite a bit of character, I'd say.
Sharing today with
what a unique character it has! the roofing and slats are very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Except for that metal overhang, it appears to be made entirely of lumber.
DeleteI kind of miss the farmlands of Illinois. when we lived there, we had lots of friends who lived on farms. I know it's a lot of work to run a farm, but it sure seemed peaceful.
ReplyDeleteIt is peaceful, Dena. I grew up on a small farm in NW Illinois in the 50's and 60's when life was pretty simple. I keep trying to get back to that simplicity. I'm getting closer.:-)
Deleteawesome barn. so cool. i love all the detailed shots. fun!! ( :
ReplyDeleteI really liked photographing this barn, Beth, and keep hoping the owner would show up so I could find out its history.
DeleteGreat photos of this lone barn. The slats in the roof are interesting.
ReplyDeleteI thought so, too, Barb. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
DeleteWhat an interesting barn! It looks like it is wearing a skirt. :) Looks like the little roof was meant to protect cattle as they were feeding. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteLOL. It DOES look like a little skirt. Thanks.
DeleteI agree! :-) great barn...
ReplyDeleteAre there barns where you live in Norway? It would be fun to see one.
DeleteThis is a great barn and so different with the overhang all around it. It does look lonesome, though!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and commenting. it's always fun to participate in Barn Charm and see all the different styles of barns. Hope you have a great week.
DeleteI love that roof design. It seems to be a bit of natural air-conditioning!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Kathy. Pretty cool in the winter, too, I would imagine.
DeleteInteresting look with the built in air conditioning for hot summer months. Wouldn't want to be in it for the winter! Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI have never seen a barn quite like this...it is very interesting. Just love the looks of it.
ReplyDeleteIt is unusual, I think. Can't help but wonder about its history. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
DeleteBeautiful shots of this picturesque old barn.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Nice of you to visit and leave a comment.
DeleteYes ma'am, quite a bit of character, indeed... charm, too! She's a beauty! I sure wish some horses or something was filling that corral... surely the barn can be saved!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in 2012 & hope you'll return for a Happy New Year in 2013! =)
I love "Barn Charm", Tricia. It's one of my favorite blog hops. There's just something about old barns that tugs at my heart. Thanks for hosting and I'll keep linking up as long as I can find barns to photo. :-)
