This Old Barn
One of the more modern structures in Cades Cove. A lot of the barns that were there, have gradually fallen in and nature reclaimed them. I can remember back to when a few people still lived in the Cove. They were allowed to live there by an arrangement with the park service when the land was sold. They are all gone now including those that stayed in the cabins in the Elkmont area. This barn sits beside the Cades Cove Loop Road. It still is in great shape and will probably out live me. I wish I had thought and taken the time 30 years ago and shoot a lot of the structures that are forever gone. Hind site is always better than foresight. Never pass up a chance for a shot, what you pass up today may be gone tomorrow…a block and tackle was often hung from the overhang of the roof to pull hay up and into the window up top.. image taken as mornings 1st light tops over the ridge to warm the already beautiful colors,and intensify parts of the field back of the barn…Cades Cove is located in the Great Smoky Mountains and one of the more heavily visited areas.

Great shot Gary, always nice to see country!
My grandfathers old barn was a bit bigger than that one, and my uncle and aunt and I used to amuse ourselves by jumping out of the hay loft into the weeds! Years later a Dr. asked me if I had ever broken my foot?? I said to myself ya think???? Anyway thank you again for sharing your corner of the world! Take care, Linda
(and yes, we have only found a couple of pictures of those old barns which is a shame, because they were right next to the windmill and the cornfield.

You have a way with composition my friend. The balance of the shot really works and the contrast between the building and the fall colors makes for a perfect capture. Well done.

I was out at Cades Cove on Sunday and thought twice to take a pic of this barn, but decided not to. I’m especially kicking myself now after seing your shot. I’ve frequented the cove all my life. My family would always come out w/KFC chicken and Oreos on every trip and hang out in the cove as if it were a second home. I can’t imagine living in this grand area.

absolutely beautiful
