It is the perfect day to share some of the many beautiful barns I have photographed throughout the Bluegrass State of Kentucky. Kentucky has my heart, as it is my home state. I have wandered many a back road and scenic byway in Kentucky stopping along the side of the road or at times even pulled into the edge of a driveway to snap photos of a barn on my journeys. I hope you enjoy this look back as much as I enjoyed creating it. Off we go!

There you have it. Some of the barns I have photographed over the years while traveling the back roads and the scenic byways of the great state of Kentucky. I have to say I am very partial to the Bluegrass Region for obvious reasons. I especially love it in Fall, but Summer is nice too.

I hope you enjoyed taking a look back over the years at the beautiful barns throughout Kentucky. My favorite photo is the first one of Manchester Farms in Lexington taken some 15 years ago. At that time I used a Pentax K1000 manual camera with Fuji Velvia slide film. It was difficult learning 'to shoot the light' using that seemingly antiquated camera. Interestingly enough, that is the camera they still use in photography classes throughout colleges everywhere. I can see why. Many a roll of slide film was used to create that beautiful photo. I hope you will share with me your favorite image(s) on this journey of old historic and vintage barns. ENJOY!

ReplyDeleteThose Kentucky folks really know how to build beautiful barns!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see these wonderful barns in the sunshine during our dreary winter. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, Carol, I am from Tennessee...well, I grew up there and still have family there. Still consider it home, but always consider Kentucky the next best thing to Tennessee...I consider it a sister state. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you really posted some beauties here. I have to say that tobacco barn looks huge!
Absolutely beautiful, every one.
ReplyDeleteI love all these beautiful barns. Very nice! I remember going to Kentucky Horse Park and also Calumet Farm back in the 80's with friends. And I love the back roads of Kentucky.
