I promise you that the fade in color on the barn’s exterior is not a product of the camera or lens. That is the actual color of the barn.

Neat old barn.Wonder what the history is behind the color? Living in a rural area we have a lot of barns and old sheds around the countryside. One of my favorite activities is to drive around looking for them and photographing then. Old cars make great subjects too.

April 9th, 2009 at 3:47 pmWow. Now that’s something you don’t see every day! I keep intending to photograph several unique barns in my area. Maybe I’ll do that this spring!
April 10th, 2009 at 5:37 amI wish I knew the story behind the barn. Unfortunately, I do not. Maybe some day I’ll drive back there and ask…
April 10th, 2009 at 8:36 amThe barn color does look like someone used an airbrush to paint it with. I would not think the lens could do that but I might think the sun and refraction might have something to do with it.
April 11th, 2009 at 10:52 amI heard some Gaymen were having relations in that barn.
April 15th, 2009 at 6:41 pmHi Moe..just catching up and this one stopped me in my tracks..love that barn…
April 21st, 2009 at 2:22 amMan I love that barn. I can never remember exactly where it is, but I drove by it many a time in high school. I am glad to see it still looks the same.
April 23rd, 2009 at 7:41 pmMe too. I wish I could remember where it is, actually…
May 1st, 2009 at 10:44 pmThe story be hind the color is actualy pretty simple, the man who owns it is an artist and he paints houses for a living so he had plenty of extra paint, and no it is not airbrushed it was actualy hand painted with a regular brush, Mark is an incredable artist, has many paintings he has painted, but the real artistic acomplishment is his truck wich he hand painted himself, he resides in Davenport, Iowa. but oplease be respectful and just admire from the road and please don’t trespass on his property
May 5th, 2009 at 12:39 pmThanks, Jess.
May 7th, 2009 at 2:33 pmThe artist is my step-brother. He’s incredibly talented and, yes,…each board was hand painted with a brush and paint which was painstakingly mixed so that each board was so subtly different that the barn looks airbrushed! Me, my husband,and my kids even got in on a little bit of the action and got to paint a couple boards.
