Last evening as the sun was setting and shining brightly the rain fell steadily. Using my vast meteorology background I knew there had to be a rainbow somewhere. As I walked around my parents house the colors slowly materialized in the eastern sky. A few quick pictures and the dissipation began. I moved down the road a bit and tried to include the old family barn with the 'bow. But 'til I got there it was pretty much gone and with the trees along the creek I was unable to get the picture I envisioned. This old barn, built in the 20's, has seen hogs, Charolais cattle, chickens, pheasants and peafowl. And for a time, along with other buildings, it was a part of my great grandfather's sawmill.
Looks well taken care of after all the activity it's seen.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture on the rainbow!
It's had a long varied life and it still looks to be very solid and well maintained. I like the window treatment in this design. It's makes a fine subject for your post to Barn Charm. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual barn! I like the shape and color. Great rainbow too!
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows w/ that stormy ominous looking sky in the background... & the barn was a sawmill? WoW! Has it been painted recently? It looks brand new... not nearing 100 yrs old! =0
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining Barn Charm all the way from Pa, Haney... much appreciated! =)
That is a beautiful barn...and I love that lighting. I love it when the sky gets that look...I always watch for rainbows then!
ReplyDeleteThe barn is beautiful and looks well taken care of. Its white boards against the dark sky make a great photo, even without the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE white barns but the story about it being in your family is the icing on the cake for me. Delightful!!
