I love them too. We have a lot of them around here because there’s still quite a bit of farming and no one takes down an old barn. It may FALL down, but until then, they just keep’em going 🙂
Someone stole our tall ladder and I haven’t been able to afford a new one. They are EXPENSIVE! And who is going to do the climbing? Not me or my son who is afraid of heights. Or Garry who has gotten a bit shaky. I think we live with grimy windows.
Alternatively – if you still have any Teepee poles left over, tie a sponge onto one end and dip it in water mixed with vinegar and rub the windows with it – then wait for the rain to wash off any streaks. Knowing where you are should not have long to wait. 🙂
Beautiful, pleasing composition particularly in the first one. I love the tones, textures and simplicity of these shots. Thanks so much, Marilyn. It is so nice to see your work.
I spent hours with those annoying windows. I KNEW I had a picture, but I could not quite find them. Eventually I got maybe a dozen worth working with … out of HUNDREDS. I have lots of windows, of course. We all do … but I worked on those windows 🙂

What window breaks in yonder light…?

Yes, it was definitely broken and had been covered with paper from the inside. I don’t think anything in that barn was going to be ruined by light!

Looks a bit like my windows at the moment – ouch.

Mine aren’t much better. Old windows. The upper stories get washed by rain, but otherwise? That’s pretty much it!

Love the barn planks. Cedar? Knotty pine?

Teepee pole long disintegrated! I’d wind up breaking all the windows. Grace? Not my strong suit!

I tried. I think the entire barn is stuffed with junk! And maybe some old tractors.
