 This is another view of that barn on the grounds of the Steam Thresher's Reunion.  I actually took this image laying on the ground.  I wanted the grass in the foreground to show up well.  I love the look of this grass, looks like it is being windblown even when there is no wind.  It is called Foxtail Barley Grass.

 On the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion grounds is a couple of lovely barns.  This one usually has a bunch of stuff parked around it and is not that great to photograph.  When I was up there last week it was very photogenic looking without that and I captured this image of it at sundown on Sunday evening.

I was talking about this photo elsewhere and I mentioned barns in the Midwest are usually wood but then I got to thinking about my Saturday image of the barn at Konza and that's not totally true either.  I shot this in Spring in Pennsylvania.  Their barns have a bit different shape than Midwest ones with the overhangs and a lot will have slot style windows.  I love barns and always thought it would be neat to have a house made out of one.

I took this image back in June after an evening out at Konza Prairie.  This is the stone barn at sunset that has been restored and converted into meeting areas.  Some of the barn features and woodwork and stone was kept in the interior restoration and it is quite beautiful inside as well as out.

Trying to get snow photos but it's not good snow.  No single flakes.  Warming up for a bit.
My image for today is a summery one from a trip to West Virginia.  Over on Google + the daily theme was Squares and this image fit the bill.  I love finding these old barns.  Mail Pouch Tobacco barns were quite popular at one time along highways in the US.  I saw this one on a trip to West Virginia when I was going back to the campsite after a train ride.  The Mail Pouch Headquarters was in WV and I go by the town all the time and always think I'll stop next time and still haven't done it.
