Title: The Barnyard
Post by: Arlen on March 31, 2016, 12:39:50 am

Having led into this subject from the rear, so to speak, in my previous Out Back post featuring an old ranch after a snow storm, I'll move around to another angle showing the barnyard. This barn was built in the late 1800's, and it retains the original beams. I had admired it in passing many times, but after the snowfall I approached the ranch house and knocked on the door. An elderly lady answered, and kindly granted permission for me to wander around taking pictures--with the understanding that I would bring back some prints for her. Which I did a few days later, and at that point received a guided tour from her son. Quite an informative and rewarding experience.

I agree with all the praise.

It is in astonishingly good condition for its age. Old barns around here (Massachusetts) usually have sway-back roof lines or all falling down.
