Our trip out west last week resulted in many great shots of country scenes, Pelicans, Lake Wivenhoe, beautiful sunsets and some surprise barn charm at sunset.
From the main road, I noticed this little cemetery. So we turned onto the dirt road to get a closer look just as the sun set over the mountains.
Behind the cemetery was, what looked like, a community of barns... with a stunning backdrop.
Hooray for the "stalker lens" and a closer look.
I would love to know the story of this group of barns...

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Liz! How fun to find so many barns in one spot. Oh how I wish I had a stalker lens so I could get closer looks. I like taking photos of cemeteries too, especially older ones.
ReplyDeletewow! gorgeous images!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty light! Wonderful barns.
ReplyDeleteFantastic landscape, Liz! It's gorgeous. I love those old barns with the rust on the roofs!
ReplyDeleteWhat idyllic shots and I now know there is a Somerset in Australia as well as the UK!
ReplyDeleteIt is a strange place, ghost town. It must have been a special experience.

What a magical place. I love barns. Your photos are beautiful and left me wondering what the story behind it is too...
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots, Liz! You should go into business! I love old cemeteries and the stories buried there. And old barns are fabulous - what a great ombination. We were exploring my grandma and grandpa's deserted property a few years ago with my cousin - the stories we remembered were so heart jerking.
ReplyDeleteThese were a joy to look at!
ReplyDeleteI think I need a 'stalker lens'!

ReplyDeleteMy first visit - and it's like going home. My parents' families come from around Laidley and I know I've seen that scene in the first shot. I know those mountains but can't place them. But I'm going to enjoy searching my memory until I remember. Beautiful photography!
ReplyDeleteYou hit the jackpot! Good thing you had your "stalker lens" along.
ReplyDeleteHello! What a place. Oh thinking of walking and look around there. Have a nice day !
ReplyDeleteOHHH I'd love to know the story, too! They're awesome... looks like these shots could have been taken here in the US, but it's Australia! WoW!
