More of the barn theme

This is a quick edit...from one of my trips through Indiana this past summer. I decided to take some time out on the way back from Cinci to do some shooting, instead of driving straight home.
This is known as a Spurgeon Barn, built by the Spurgeon Brothers, in 1914. The barn was located in Jefferson Township, IN and moved to it's present location on US 31 near Tipton, IN.

CJ...you've probably seen this one more than once!

Nice to see a round barn in such good shape. Here in Central IL most of the round barns are either terribly run down or have been torn down to make room for more corn and beans. Nice shot, Toni. I think the fence in the foreground helps lead the eye right into the photo.

Nice shot as Louis said nice to see on being maintained well.

Louis...This barn was renovated once they moved the barn to this location. I checked a web site that shows there are quite a number of round barns in Indiana that are in decent shape.
If anyone is interested, this is a direct link to the Indiana barns, and another link to round barns in other states.

Toni - yeah I probably have seen it, though I haven't driven up 31 in a while! Looks good from here too!

Nice shot, Toni. The point about the restored/renovated buildings is an interesting one. I was in western Ontario for a few days in September for the first time in quite awhile and one thing that really caught my eye was how well-kept most of the barns there were, in stark contrast to what I'm used to seeing in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, etc.

Kerry...seems Ontario has more barns/farms than some our our Midwestern states. I had a friend visiting from ON a few years ago, and she was asking me where all our farms were. Maybe we just hide them better!
