Barn Charm--Quaker City barn


I pass this barn every time I go to our place
at a near-by  Seneca Lake.
For those of you familiar with this area:
It's at the bottom of the hill from the Quaker Cemetery.
You turn left to go into Quaker City.

I've wanted to take a photo of it for a long time.
However there were always several people out in the yard
next to the only spot where I could pull over.

A few weeks ago, no one was home,
so I took advantage.
I didn't press my luck and get out of the car though;
it's a busy section of road.



No fancy techniques--I'm not that far along yet.
Just a simple barn in the beautiful hills of southeastern Ohio.

  2. These are the barns that touch me the most. I am always thinking of all the stories the walls of boards have to tell. They have so much personality. I cannot bear the thought of them falling to the ground for lack of love and care. Wonderful shot. Genie

  5. An intriguing shot which stirs the imagination and a good composition. It's the sort of place I'd love to paint.

  8. Hi Beth,
    Years ago, I did a lot of driving around the countryside, collecting pictures of old barns...my thoughts were always similar to Genie's...so many stories of lives lived in and around the barns...if only the walls could talk to those of us who wander by...or maybe it's best that we make up the stories for ourselves :)

  9. Hi Beth, so nice to hear from you today- thank you for taking the time to come and leave me your sweet encouraging words. Wow, have to say I see why you took the time for the barn... I certainly would love to get closer too, but always try to respect the property as is. Will bookmark you blog so I can come visit again soon! Thanks again!
