That is an enormous barn! The yellow walls look cheerful.
Thank you, Anne. And there are an equal number of outbuildings to the left out of the shot. A wonderful family farm that is still active thankfully.
The world needs active farms!
Yes!
Fascinating. There is an abandoned dairy farm on the Indian Res near us. I think you motivated me to go take some photos of it.
Thank you, Cindy. I love old barns and this one is still well-cared for. Our area has lost so many of these great barns, this one is a prize. I hope you post your shots. 🙂
Stunning!
Thank you, Laurie!
An excellent composition
Thank you, Derrick!
Wonderful! You don’t see barns like this one in Australia.
Thank you, Joanne. This one is well over 100 years old and still is an active family farm, a miracle in these days of huge corp. farms.
Now that’s a BARN! Handsome one too.
Thank you, Judy. It is a special one, a miracle that it has survived given we have lost so many.
This should be a painting! I love the yellow & white.
Thank you! Do you recognize it? 🙂
Not sure….Burgie Rd.?
Robertson’s 🙂
It must smell like warm cows & hay and maybe some calves, already. I wonder how old the barn is.
I grew up just up the road and it has been there (and yellow) all my life. At least four generations I believe. They used to raise Guernsey cows, now Holsteins. I used to love petting the brown cows and always had a favorite. 🙂
Cold but soothing …. or is it soothing but cold?
Definitely both! 🙂 Thanks, Frank.
I’ve never seen a yellow barn. It’s wonderful.
Thank you, Linda. A local favorite.
What a surprise to see a yellow barn, I love it, Eliza!
Thank you, Donna. It is a very picturesque farm.
Very nice Eliza! That is one large barn! Plus I never saw a yellow barn!
Thank you, Reed! Out of the shot are an equal number of outbuildings, so it is a large farm for our area. It is an uncommon color, but this one has been yellow since before I was born, right down the road from where I grew up.
I love this shot! It is so full of time, history and story. So many angles – and I love a yellow barn!!!
Thank you, C. I remember you posting one years ago and I similarly loved it. Not a common color.
Great picture. I don’t think I have ever encountered a yellow barn either. It’s so cool that it is different. I love old barns. There’s just something about them that gets to me…esp the ones that are now toppling over due to not being used anymore. I guess bygone days that I wish could return.
Thank you, Vicki. Our area has lost dozens of barns and more crumble away each year as the younger generations leave the tough farming life. It is wonderful to see the few that are still in use.
I love yellow barns, lovely shot!
Thank you, Belinda!
Great image. Enjoyed reading your comments about the yellow barn. Something special about old buildings–they have stories.
Thanks, Susie! Indeed they do. I wonder how many thousand head of cattle have passed through those barns over the years.
Just beautiful, Eliza!
Thank you, Leah! x
As I sit at my desk shivering (it’s 53F outside), I realize how much of a wimp I am. I don’t think I could handle cold like you’ve got – my mother was right that my Scandinavian roots have been deeply buried.
😀 The secret is the slow march of day temperatures up or down and the transforming of capillaries, I’m told. We’re more sensitive to sudden swings in temps. Our bodies need several days to adjust. I’ve noticed that on past winter visits to the Caribbean – my body couldn’t cool itself well for several days.
This is a lovely composition. There are so many textures and patterns. The yellow tones stitch the whole thing together.
Thank you, Allison!
This looks like a painting.
Thank you, Susan. It’s a pretty one and does deserve to be painted.
Wow! That is a lovely image of an incredible barn. 😊❤️
Thank you, Irene– it is a fine barn, a favorite local landmark.
Fantastic!!!
What a lovely shot Eliza. This looks amazingly similar to some of the old farmyards near us.
Thank you, Cathy. Old farms are becoming increasing rare these days, they’re real treasures.
I don’t usually see yellow barns here — red seems to be the more popular color. But wow, the yellow really stands out, doesn’t it!?!
I know of two in the area, but red is definitely more common. This one is rather unique for its size and color.
What a complex. Pretty barn with its attractive cupola. Lovely shot, Eliza.
Thank you kindly, Jane. It is a big farm, still family-run after four generations.
Barns depict life…. and the beauty of existence.
Thank you, Shakti.
It’s a great thing these days to see working farms (so many stand empty), and your photo did a great job of capturing the aliveness of this farm, Eliza. Wonderful.
Thank you, Jet!
So New England and great to see those that remain. We need more farms.
I agree!
Wow – gorgeous! Would make a great house.
A very large house it would be, more like a church! 🙂 Thanks, Fi!
Beautiful and lovely to know it graces a still working family farm.
Thank you, Carol. Family farms are quite precious these days.
Whoa…that’s one. very. big. barn!! Love the snow dusting.
Thank you, Monika! It really is… not many farms left around here, but this one seems to be doing well. A beautiful one.
