Barn ramble, old Highway 47, Oregon

Dick and I made a very last-minute trip to Medford, Oregon, to support a family member. It was a quick trip, until the 2nd half of our drive home. We detoured to a fabulous little country road - Oregon's Highway 47 N. It didn't quite qualify for our favorite kind of travel - the back road. (The criteria for a BR are: no center line, no road signs, and often no pavement.) But, the pics show that it was a winning road for providing great old barns!











I also like to frame details of the old farm textures:




OK, were this one a painting or a contrived design, it would be called garrish! However, these were nature's colors at their peak, and the effect was "Oh! turn around! Did you see that?:


I call this, "Primary colors":

What a great assortment of shapes, sizes, and textures! I really like the old gray, rounded-top barn.

I am so fond of your barn pictures! Both for their artistic beauty (credit to you of course!) and simply because I love the look and feel of aged "things", particularly wood, especially if it's made by hand. I am so glad that you feel so inclined to take so many pictures of barns, i love to see your pictures in general, and enjoy them all the more that they are on subjects I can personally appreciate. Keep it up Grandma!!

With Love, Brett
