Description
There's something about the beautiful old barns you find in a southern landscape. They seem to almost by default have rust red tin roofs, and often, like this one, some section of the sides has even been patched over time with the ubiquitous sheet of tin.
That's why when I saw this barn not far from Montezuma in rural Macon County, Georgia, I knew it was a classic. Even the faded red paint has echoes of Americana.
It was spring time on the first occasion that I drove down that dirt road in the Georgia countryside and stumbled across this barn. Usually I have to hunt for the proper way to frame a subject but in this case, that first spotting was dead on. I loved the way the branches, with just the first hints of fresh new leaves, framed the corners of this scene, putting that old barn right in perspective.
The foreground has a hint of yellow from the first wildflowers of spring... one of my favorite seasons to be out enjoying the beauty of rural Georgia.
