No Winter Whining–Structure in winter

 

 

Welcome to our second week at

No Winter Whining, I’m this weeks

official hostess, and loving it,

please visit Heather’s blog for the

link up. 

Links are at the end of

the post.

So far we have managed

to focus on the bright and beautiful

during winter, effectively taking

our mind off of the sparkling snow

and glimmering icicles that are

adorning our rooftops, and

vehicles.  Well, at least while

we are still cosy and warm in our houses, it’s when we get outside that reality hits.  Hard.It’s cold outside,

brrrrrr. 

 

Who in their right minds would leave the comfort and warmth of their glowing computer screen to venture out into the unknown, frozen north…..east, west or south and take photos? 

Well, us/you of course. After all, this week’s subject is structures in winter.  And one of the only things that will encourage me to get up early, bundle up, and leave the comfort of my computer is ….. barns.

Especially barns with snow on them, or barns in fog, or barns in the morning sun…I’m a barn stalker…yep, my name is Jen, and I am a barn stalker. 

I have a black truck, with black tinted windows…a long lens, and I stalk barns.  Barn-parazzi….want to join in?  I’ve gotten some odd looks from the cows, while wandering down those country roads in my black truck, both windows rolled down in the below zero cold, erratically stopping wayside without warning, it’s a good thing the vehicles are few and far between.

I have my favourites, some I will drive for miles to get a shot of, and some are just around the corner but they are all beautiful in my eyes. Sadly most of them are starting to show their age, and some have fallen victim to the wrath of winter storms…roofless, sun bleached wood skeletons, they are still a remarkable piece of history.

So my choice for structures in winter is barns…may they shelter, and enhance our country landscape forever.
