I never travel more than 50 miles away from home without searching the web for Mail Pouch opportunities near where I’m traveling. Irecently traveled to Prestonsburg, KY for work and discovered I would be passing near these 2 barns.

I located the first just outside of town on Route 114 (Old Middle Creek Rd.). My normal method for shooting on private property is to shoot as though I’m supposed to be there. If I can see for sure someone is home, and I don’t fear being shot at, I’ll ask. If it appears no one is around I just go for it and pray there’s no “killer” dogs around. As soon as I got out of the car a dog ran up to me barking, which sent me running back to the car. Just as I got my hand on the door a lady yelled to me, “he won’t bite!”. I wonder how many people have heard that right before getting bit? I’m a trusting sole so I stopped running and the dog was indeed fine. Although he did bark the entire time I was shooting, he was fine with me being there. After I introduced myself and asked if I could shoot the barn she said that would be fine and that it has been shot many times in the past and is “on that computer Internet thingy”.

The second barn was less than a mile away on the same road. I almost drove right past it because it’s hidden behind some trees. This made it difficult to shoot an overall shot. I did get some overall shots, but nothing I was happy with. I love the red versions of the barns so I shot some detail shots and 12 image panoramic (shown above).
