I don't think I allowed enough characters for the thumbnail entries, so I'll adjust that next week.
Also, I may widen the range of what can be posted here, such as out buildings, etc., so I may change the rules just a bit.
That's an interesting spot to locate the barn. Perhaps it was also used as a winter storage for a boat?
Thank you for introducing such a great weekly meme! I love old "everything" and am so grateful to be able to show some "Southern" stuff!
I'm going to enjoy your barn photos, Tricia... This one is fabulous. I told Rose about your meme. Hope she can join.
Hugs,
Betsy
What a great new meme. I don't know that I have something new to contribute each week but I'll plan to participate next week. Thanks for inviting me!
Tricia, so glad you started this. I love the photo you entered...
This is a great old barn. What a great way to start your new meme.
Great photo! Love the old rustic feeling.
What a cool idea. Old barns have such character.
love this old beauty...
how you can see the gorgeous landscape right through it's windows.
great photo!

love that big old red barn!
I stopped by from the Road Less Traveled (Chasity's blog) and I'm glad I did! Beautiful blog; I'm so excited for this new weekly challenge. I love seeing old barns/buildings.
I'm glad you were able to take a picture of this. It doesn't look like it will last another winter.
As a lover of barns I think your meme is a great idea.
The barn in your picture must have been a beauty in its day, too bad it is in such disrepair :(

Wow Tricia! This looks like it is off to a wonderful start. I didn't have a barn photo on a computer I could access and it may be a couple of weeks before I can join in but I will. I'm glad you invited me. I'm really going to be looking for barns now. :)
Now, let me say I like your first entry with it's red patined paint.
I too wonder if it was used to store a boat. Never seen a barn by that much water that could potentially flood. Sure wouldn't want wet hay!
What a great barn! Such a neat picture!
i am enjoying your old barns meme. :)
too bad i don't get to see old barns here in Singapore. :(
Wow !
I love this meme and your old barn. I just have to join.
Thanks for starting this meme. Old or new barns are just great.
Your barn pictured looks like it doesn't have much longer to stay standing. Too bad. MB
It's so nice to see all these wonderful barns.
To answer your question - the front of the barn, with the doors, is at ground level, making easy access for the farmer to load hay, store equipment, etc. The lower level at the back and usually at 'pasture level' and provides a sheltered area for animals like sheep and goats.
Thanks again for this fun meme.

Great photo....where in SE, MO are you? My husband is from Caruthersville.
Your barn today is a wonderful one to document before it's completely gone. Aminus3 doesn't permit the addition of links so I will be unable to participate in your Old Barns theme. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the post today.
I really like this new theme! And this old barn is cool.
Oh my - wonder what it was like in it's "hay" day! ;o)
That is a beautiful picture and I'm looking forward to more! I will have to be on the lookout for some old barns around here too.
That is a wonderful old barn! There is something specail about old barns like that. Beautiful shot! I don't have a barn photo this week but I'll try to find one for next time. I look forward to seeing the other barns too.
Interesting old barn!
I like the contrast between the barn and its surroundings! Great shot!
I think that barn has done it´s job. ;)
Love the photo.
Thank you for commenting on my Macro Monday-photo.
I´ve moved my blog to a new adress, I hope you´ll find the time to stop by. :)
Great photo of this old barn - looks like a tractor dove thru it! I love photographing barns in the fall - I better get cracking!
Hi Tricia! I found you at the road less traveled blog...I follow her...and thought "why not! i love barns!" on my sidebar on the bottom is the 'story' behind the historic barn that tragically burned at our farm just 3 years ago...so barns hold a dear place in my prairie heart.
thanks for giving me the welcome!
xo+blessings,
Anne Marie
Love this snap! Are you down near Poplar Bluff? I went to Mizzou, and we used to hang out in your neck of the woods. Beautiful country!
I love this!! I just love old barns!
What a beautiful old structure. Fabulous capture.
Tricia, I have been on sabbatical for the summer and have missed checking on your wonderful photos.
As a fellow lover of old barns I was delighted to read about your new meme. I hope that this will be my first of many post to your wonderful meme.
Thank you for hosting it.
Can you imagine how glorious that barn was back in the day? Still a beauty but sad to see it reaching the end. Great image!
Ooo you have so much more cool things to take pics of in US.
Sweden are not that exiting :)
Have a good day.
