This barn was located adjacent to a big field where my daughter's cross country team was participating in the state championships. I took a moment during a lull in the action to mosey over and snap a couple of pics. Her team took the state title, too.

The barn is real, but the snow is not. Snow effects achieved using infrared, blizzard, and opacity adjustments.

Kentucky Barns...On The Water

As you can guess from the title and the cattails, this is another barn that sits in a great location. This black barn is on the opposite side of the lake from the white barn I posted previously.

Kentucky Barns...It's All About Location

This rather nondescript, whitish and green barn is well maintained, but isn't what I would call fancy or unique. As they say in the real estate business, however, it's all about location, location, location.

This barn happens to be in a great location with a fantastic view.

Kentucky Barns...Evening Shots

This is an example of a typical Kentucky horse farm.

Kentucky Barns...Not Pretty

While I'm almost certain this is a barn, it's one of the stranger barns I've seen from a construction standpoint. Never mind the fact it needs some work now. It may have been built for a specific purpose (I hope). It's certainly no looker which is what caught my attention in the first place, but it was the overall scene that I found appealing.

Kentucky Barns...Horse Park Style

This is one of the many barns at the Kentucky Horse Park and one of the longer ones on the grounds. I took these photos back in the spring, but forgot I had them.

Kentucky Barns...Retirement

At one time, this barn and the property it sits on were used for horses. It was primarily a boarding facility and I always saw horses in the pasture when I'd drive by. The barn and property have since been sold to a large railroad company. I have no idea what the property will be used for now or whether the barn itself will remain.

Drive-by Barns II...Oops

This is another barn I passed during my recent trip. I just hope Hanger's restaurant is in better shape than the barn.

Apple Barn

During my trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains, I hiked to this apple barn located in the Moses H. Cone Memorial Park. It's no longer actively used, except for storage, but is maintained as part of the old estate.

Drive-by Barns

These are some barns I passed during my recent travels through Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina. I saw A LOT of barns I wanted to photograph, but couldn't for one reason or another, usually due to terrain or something else in the way.

And I thought this little barn scene looked nice as an oil painting.
