This beauty has stood in TN for 150 years plus. We were lucky enough to meet the owner who allowed us to take a tour of the inside . The workmanship of the log cabin frame construction and wooden pegs is incredible. Happy to report it is still being used today.

Spend a few minutes each day being grateful for what you have and who you have to share it with.

That's a Beaut, Marsha!! ...however; I am a Bit jealous That I didn't get the Tour... and Maybe a Sample for my Pouch!! The frame Will probably Last forever, as the Siding will Probably be Shed every few Generations! A very Cool find, and Eloquently Captured!

So different from the tobacco barns around here. The photo is really nice at this angle and the colors are good.

I don't think I'd care to wander inside that place...it looks in a worse state than me on my wobbly legs! .. lol

Fabulous angle for the shot though!...it does look 'well worn' from time

I wonder if it still smells of tobacco! Battered and beautiful it is Marsha.

Old barns are so photogenic Jen-Nay. This one is no exception.

That's a very handsome old structure, Marsha. Some people probably think they are eye sores, but I love 'em! Fantastic shot!

I remember seeing buildings like this when we were in Lexington Ky. for the harness races - really good presentation Marsha bringing out the textural highlights.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
