And, I've done that enough over the last few months. It's time to get back to something that makes me happy and doesn't send my blood pressure sky high. And yours too.
I've mentioned before that I like to photography old barns. That makes me happy. I'm not sure what it is that pulls me to them.
Maybe it's because they are indicative of a by-gone era. A time when life was simplier. When kids were content to play outside and not sit in front of their computers and video games all day and then whine that they had "nothing to do." When meals were made from scratch and families sat down together to eat them.
Maybe it's because of all of those reasons. Most of these barns are in Anderson, SC, Clemson or Pickens. These are only a few of my favorites.
And lastly, my friend Keith and I found this little gem while out shooting. A neighbor saw us photographing it and stopped to tell us the history. (Because that's what you do in the south...actually speak to each other.)
She said that it was a mess when the guy who owns it started rennovating it. He was able to bring it back to it's original glory. Obviously, it was a labor of love because this barn is awesome.
I love the old John Deere tractor in the barn. The guy who refinished it obviously thought about every single detail.
Hopefully these pictures will bring you the peace and tranquility that I feel when I look at them. We could all use a little of that today!
