Barns have a definite personality. Some are smarmy and conceited, others destitute and abandoned. Old abandoned barns are best. All pretenses are erased and what’s exposed is the soul of the place. With nothing left to hide the history of the place exudes and if you take some time to breathe and listen you will be transported back in time.
This barn is located in La Conner and she had a lot to say!

Hi Jenny, Thank you so much!
Reblogged this on A passionate photographer, with nature in his heart and commented:
Old barns always attract a lot of people, me to, but sadly enough there are not that many old barns here to photograph.
Everything that is older than a certain age or standing in the way, is or will be torn down.
So it’s looking for a needle in a haystack if you like to photograph one…
So I’m very happy to see a post like this, good photos and nice thoughts.
I hope you will enjoy them as well!

Great photos. Very atmospheric. 😀
Awesome!
Wonderful wabi-sabi atmosphere
Your photography is breathtaking!!! I live in Washington State and yours are the best I have ever seen. Simply mesmerizing!!!!
Hey Jamie,
Thank you so much! That’s saying something! Which side of the Mountains do you live on?
On the east side. I love not having the rain, but from your photographs, I can see I am missing the beauty of the west side.
Have you been out to the Palouse in May or June? I was there last year and will definitely be back this year, what a fantastic place to capture images!
Yes, it’s sadly been about 10 years and I had forgotten how beautiful it was. I am going to definitely go this year. I used to be a professional photographer in California, but I have been in school the past 6 years, and seeing your incredible photographs made me realize I need to take some breaks and go explore again with my camera.
Palouse Falls is a stunning spot, as is all of the Palouse…are you at WSU?
I will definitely check it out. No, I don’t attend WSU; just finished my Masters and am obtaining my Doctorate in another state.
Congratulations to you!!! What is your Masters in??
In Education. My focus in on Asperger’s Syndrome research and providing all students learning strategies based on their learning styles, so that hopefully people can start seeing past labels and begin focusing on the individual instead.
