Hwy BB

This is the closest barn to my home. It is about 1/2 mile away. It is the last little sliver of a farm that has now been developed as a retirement/assisted living complex. I hope this barn stays around for a while.

Sometimes it is the silo that catches my eye and the barn becomes secondary.

Hwy O.

I half expected to see a pile of empty Blatz cans behind this one. I did not see any beer cans, just lots of weeds. They were working on the highway today, and it will be nice when it is done. I had to drive around two different steamrollers.

Julius Road

This is the Julius Homestead. Since 1864 says the sign. I finally got a sunset for a background instead of grey skies.

Clayton Avenue

Almost mine. Yes, about two years ago we were looking at this farm and this would have been my barn. It's a beauty, There are still numbers above the doors that say "1893". If so, this is one of the best preserved barns in the area. It also has a 60 X 40 machine shed for a brother and a nice little Dutch barn for a sister. I'm not sure that I would be posting this blog if we had bought this farm. My life would have turned in another direction for sure.

The weather is still dreary, but it sure does make the grass look green! This barn is on Hwy A just north of Hwy 41.

Hwy M just north of Hwy 10. I really like this barn. The holy roof, the algae on the siding, and the dovetail joints in the corners.

Center Valley Road

Of the five or six barns I photographed today, this one caught my eye the most. I like the red/green contrast and the fact that you can see through the windows and out the other side.

McCarthy Road

With the overcast weather today giving even light, it was a good day for shooting. I love the way that the greens just pop out of the picture.

Starting. 1 of 365

Starting seems to be the hardest part of any project. This is my attempt. I have embarked on a journey that will take me down back roads that are traveled by tractors and pickups more than cars. This is the first day of my 365 project "NE Wisconsin Barns". I will be taking a photo a day to post here with the hopes to make it one full year. My first image was actually taken yesterday coming home from our program in Chilton. This barn is "on the corner" between Chilton and Sherwood. The barn really caught my eye because it was a skeleton. The owners said the barn is coming down because the floor is getting rotten. It is a shame that more of these historic barns can't remain standing for another hundred years.

Images in my 365 are available for purchase On My Website. Images taken the same day, but not selected for the 365 image will be posted Here .
