When I saw this historic log barn
set picturesquely along the
North Thompson River,...
(on the Yellowhead highway)
...I asked my dear husband
to scoot to the side of the road
so I could shoot a couple of photos.
You can see how the river has
eroded the banks over the years
but the barn is safe for now...
That is a beautiful historic barn and your photos are wonderful!

What stories that barn could tell if only we knew how to read them.
ReplyDeleteAh but does it flood like our rivers do.
ReplyDeleteToo bad its in decay!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE this I can imagine in its day how beautiful it was and how incredible life was to wake up and go out to see the river every morn. Hard work with a perfect setting. Great shots. B
ReplyDeleteAwesome barn! My husband cooperates that way too---one of the many blessings of being married to him.:>)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! The whole scene is perfect.
ReplyDeleteA picturesque side indeed. Can you imagine homesteading there back in the day? A bit of heaven on earth right next to that beautiful river.

p.s. Hubbies like that are keepers. Mine pulls over for me too!
That is a beautiful scene! Love the old barn, but I'm worried about the roof on this one.
ReplyDeleteBoth shots are very pretty, but there's something about the first that I really really love! The scenery is just so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure glad you got this picture so you could share it with us! What an awesome log barn! Beautiful picture too! Twyla
ReplyDeletewow, such despair - needs some great TLC. so great for pics. ( :
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad this historic barn is falling down. I did notice the erosion of the riverbank. I wonder how far the barn was from it originally? It's a very beautiful spot.
ReplyDeleteThe first picture would look great enlarged and hanging in my den. Very fine pictures.
