You've heard of The Bridges of Madison County, right?

Welcome to The Barns of Rankin County.

Truthfully, these photos were taken across several counties within 150 mile radius of Rankin County, but I couldn't pass up the pun. 

Did you know The Bridges of Madison County was released in 1995?  It's hard to believe that film is over 20 years old.

When I travel, I'm always on the lookout for interesting objects to photograph. Since real estate is in my blood, I'm naturally drawn to the various architectural styles of barns. Plus, red is one of my favorite colors.

Rustic is always charming.

This last photo isn't a barn but rather a dilapidated restaurant. The stairs on the right are hanging by a rusty nail.

Stay tuned for the next series of photos; the subject matter has already been selected.

There is nothing like old red barns in the country.

Lovely photos of barns and very evocative, Pat. (And that's coming from a city girl who likes skyscrapers! )

Harry F. D'Elia - Agreed. 

Nina Hollander - Thanks. Love all kinds of architecture. We don't have a lot of skyscrapers here, but love going downtown to experience the history of our old buildings.

Pat,

I have always loved barns.  In college, I took a watercolor class, and every class was out in the country painting watercolors of barns.  A

Pat, your barns are just beautiful.  I love the classic barn red paint on the top one.

Hi Pat Starnes , Old barns have alway fascinated me, so that was the subject I started painting in the beginning of my artistic career.
