My Barn Charm

I posted a barn yesterday from our round about way of going to the Goose Pond area here in Indiana...well here is another from that drive. We were on our way home, when we spotted this one...it was hit the brakes and back up time.
I like this one so much...because it is aged I suppose. It is one that I would love to convert to a house if it were mine.
I was so happy that it was where I could take my time and snap a few different views. I don't get to do that near as much as I would like.
Even though I think the vine is pretty growing up the wall, if it were mine, it would not be there. I would have it pulled down too quick to talk about.
The roof needs a little bit of love...I hope it gets it because this is a beautiful barn in my opinion.

As always, if you want to see more barns, or if you have one please go see Tricia's Barn Charm meme...I so love seeing all the barns.

    It's the best when you get a chance to stop and get some really good shots from different angles. Well done!

    Just beautiful! I almost think an old tree fell on that barn.

    This is definitely a charming barn, and it would make a gorgeous home. I hope it gets the TLC it needs so it will be around for many years.

    This is a charming barn! It looks really well built, too. I hope they fix the roof on it, it's too nice to let it go.

    I love this old barn. The peeling paint adds to its charm.

    It'll definitely be heartbreaking if they leave it to rot... Why don't the owners see the beauty in these old barns like we do?

    I also wonder how many have stopped to take photos of these old barns like we do, too!

    Thanks for joining, Rose

    I love the wall of this barn the chip paint that is very beautiful to become a texture for photos. And I agree with Don this is pretty to be converted for a home. Awesome!

    One of my favorites among your barn images: color, texture, nostalgia!

    That's a nice color and I like the details on the doors.

    The roof on my barn photo is slate - a very common barn roofing material around here, so it must have been plentiful.

    Oh, this is beautiful! A rare color - most barns seem to either be red or weathered white.
    Thanks for stopping by my place today, and commenting. I'm off to check out more of your posts!

    Rose, this barn is amazing!! I somehow picture this lovingly renovated and made into a studio! Your photographs of it are fantastic.
    Have a wonderful evening!

    That's a neat one! Lots of charm there. Near Goose Pond? Of course you go north and I go south :-)

    It is a beautiful barn, Rose. I am glad you got to take so many pics. I always wanted to fix up a barn to live in. I love the weathered wood look too. MB

    That is a beautiful barn, and a bit different, which makes it even more worth keeping up and saving.

    Is there a house close by, or is it sitting there all by its lonesome?

    Thanks for sharing!
