Here's my charming barn!

A little bit of wear just seems to add to the charm.
This is from Illinois country...
it is one we passed on a recent rambling drive.

    The gray wood is beautiful. I get the feeling this barn is like a game of pick-up-sticks - if you removed one piece from it, it might fall! Nice shots.

    I agree, worn barns are the most charming! This is a nice one.

    It may be showing some wear, but it looks like it still has good bones. As Mari said, the time worn boards add to it's charm.

    I often wonder why so many barns seem to be in such a state of disrepair. Are they no longer in use?

    This one does need some work, but that seems to make it all that much more artistic and photogenic.

    This is a great looking, old barn. I like it's shape and the variety of colors it presents. The wear and tear seem to fit it rather well. Nice post, Rose!

    I really like this barn. It does need some TLC, but you're right -- the weather-worn appearance just adds to the charm.

    It's a great looking barn though. I could tell the owner tries to repair the walls and I like that white sheets that they put as a wall, very practical it won't worn out easy. ^_^

    I like how it looks like someone is at least "trying" to keep it standing. It does have charm.

    The older, the more charm when it comes to barns! I'm looking for some fall colors around a barn...so far, no luck in open farm country.

    I think that you are able to find charm in any barn, just because you like barns :-) LOL

    It is a bit worn, but it's still lovely.
