YIPPEE! A BACK-ROAD DRIVE

From east of Vancouver, B.C, we went by way of a small border crossing to return home on back roads. This great old barn sits alongside the Nooksak River.  The best of bucolic!


Does it seem like something is missing in the above picture?

Indeed there is!  The background! 
The Nooksak Valley lies at the feet of these foothills
of the North Cascades:

This is the same barn.  I was so excited to see its many faces!
Here barn and orchard show their age - and steadfastness:



Barn owners have little consideration for photographers when they repair the roof with metal.
In my book, that negates the barn altogether.
Going back, around a corner and up a hill made it possible for me to photograph
this barn head-on, with no metal showing.
What a face!  What a personality!

Oh, what a find. Love love the third view with the blossoming trees in the foreground! Looks like it was a fun and productive drive home!

I'm really looking forward to that new photo book on barns! You are an expert!
