I decided to post this rather bad photo for Barn Charm this week because it illustrates a point made by one of our fellow barn enthusiasts, Tanya at Around Roanoke, that power lines are a reality in rural photography--just part of the scene. I spotted this great working barn on a recent outing to Starlight, Indiana. As you can tell, took the photo from our car window and the driver couldn't even slow down because it was in a dangerous spot. So you have blurs, too much highway, posts, and power lines galore. But the barn was great, especially with that red side shed and nice setting, so it didn't end up on the cutting floor!
Now if you'd like to participate in the Barn Charm meme, or just see some interesting "barnery" from many different places, just go to Bluff Area Daily .
Yes, power lines are all around us... It's hard to get a good picture without having one in the photo!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your barn photo....Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,

The road in your photo is exactly like those here. Other than pulling in someone's driveway (and I haven't reached that point where I could do that) it's point and shoot and hope you got something worth saving. I think you did!
ReplyDeleteI like the silo and LOVE the lightning rods on top of the barn.
i personally love the scene. love it. guess i am weird. but perfect in my opinion. ha. ha!! (:
ReplyDeleteNot only that, but it has a silo to boot! Love the pitch of the roof. Power lines intrude on so many great scenes. Sometimes you just have to go with it.
ReplyDeleteagreed. a part of life. sometimes you can't hide it.
ReplyDeleteI hate power lines but this time it didn't hurt your wonderful photo..
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful day!

It's a great barn. Glad you decided to keep it despite the power lines.
ReplyDeleteSometime powerlines even enhance a photo...and they are part of the landscape. This is a beautiful barn..with or without them.
ReplyDeletesometimes we can look past the power lines. nice looking barn.
ReplyDeleteIf you go to Lancaster Pa n see the Amish farms..you will see no power lines...it is amazing n beautiful to see!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful barn! Power lines are SO frustrating! I'm always fuming about them.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! It's so difficult to get a good shot of a barn without something being in the picture. Glad you posted this one, because it's a great barn, plus you reminded me of what's important in the shot!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you was able to get the shot & share the barn w/ us, power lines & all... Thanks for joining =)
