Vintage Barn
Barn in Chimacum Wa
I love barns and the shape and texture of the roof just drew me in. I thought this one really deserved a vintage touch. So I threw it into Topaz studio 2 to take it back in time a lil.
That Sinking Feeling…
Chimacum is a great farming community near Port Townsend with lots of farms, barns, and animals.
Skagit barn
Our air was so bad recently it was considered unsafe to venture outdoors. So I browsed through archives. This is a barn that I found some years back in the Skagit Valley, an agricultural region north of Seattle. I like the colorful touch of the quilt pattern that dresses up the building.
Thankfully, our air has returned to the safe, breathable range again.
Back road view
This barn can be partially glimpsed from the main road that goes past it. But the view opened up when I drove down a lane behind it. Plus there was a nice pasture nearby.
Barn and chicken
I believe that this was the original Cline family barn. The Clines were one of Sequim’s early pioneer families. Grandson Bob Clark has told stories of barn dances held here in the days when that was a big social event for farming families. Nowadays it’s guarded by a huge metal chicken. I haven’t decided yet…does that mean something?
What’s left so far
In May I posted a photo of the barn that once occupied the land in this photo. When I took this shot recently all that was left was the silo. The land is being repurposed for modular housing.
Here’s a shot that I took of it in 2014.
