Description
To purchase this image as an exclusive limited edition print please visit my website @ WWW.NATEZEMAN.COMWhen I was growing up in Wisconsin red barns like this were abundant. I've always loved the way they look especially against a fresh blanket of snow. Unfortunately now, every time I visit home it seems there are less and less of these beautiful rural scenes. Farm fields are giving way to development. These beautiful symbols of the midwest are quickly being replaced in favor of McMansion subdivisions and urban sprawl. These scenes have always held a special place in my heart so I had a lot of fun making this image.

This is such a striking image. I've always appreciated scenes of farmland and farm life and this one is no exception. Even more captivating is the intense saturation of the reds against the crisp white of the snow. Simply beautiful.

I've never been to Wisconsin, I'd sure like to see something like this if I ever visited there C:
That barn is such a beautiful red contrasted with the snow, why anyone would want to get rid of this scenery to put a bunch of cloned houses there, I'll never know :C

The contrast here is wonderful! if this scene were in a forest, you would be in my home state of pennsylvania...and as such it makes me strangely nostalgic... Great job!

This picture could have been taken on some farm here in Finland (or some other nordic country)I think perhaps whoever built this must have ancestors from these parts
Very beautiful, inspires me to go out and photograph some farms, which we still have plenty of here.

Yes it's true. Norway, Finland, very many French descendants in the northern part, andΒ many many Germans, especially farther south. There is even a tiny settlement in N. Minnesota (the next state to the west from here) called "Finland". I visited there once, many very tall pines and birch, almost no people. I am in a part of Wisconsin where many of these barns (and some round ones as well) are still common.

Rural Wisconsin is still out there, but you must look harder to find it. Growing up in Illinois, I never appreciated scenes like this. Now that I'm older, it brings a warmth to my soul.
My Wisconsin barn picture is a little different. Perhaps the structure was once red, but years of harsh summers and even harsher winters have stripped the paint from this building and allowed it to blend into the landscape a little more.

(Ironically enough, if I were to have snapped the photograph in the opposite direction, you would have seen a new remodeled home that fits in exactly with your comments about encroaching subburbia.)

The red does crate a great contrast with the snow, nice shot Nate.

The colours contrast really beautiful with each other! That red is very vibrant and good looking. Very good work!

So pristine and perfect! Like a Timberlake painting! In early summer, this would be so right on with a field of corn... Great image. Happy New Year Nate!

If you like it that much, come visit Sweden. Back here painting houses, barns, etc, etc has been a tradition for hundreds of years.
Most likely the practise was brought to America by Swedish immigrants.
The color is called "Falu red" or FalurΓΆd in swedish.
Google it

Nice one Nate! I have a soft spot for a country barn too...one that really looks used rather than a rich mansion horse barn. The red does go so well with the snow.

I spent some time around Racine, and this brings back iconic memories...

So awesome,I agree I think being from Wisconsin hold a country theme in our mind of some kind. I'm still in Wisconsin and it is very few and far between that you see that Red barn....or for that matter ANY barns. Great work!!

I saw so many, in my youth, as well. Heading down to Kentucky to visit the Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, etc, we saw hundreds. It seemed like they were pretty much even in numbers between the pure red barns, and those with Mail Pouch Chewing Tobacco and "See Rock City" ads painted on them. Tie that all up with "Burma Shave" signs, and you have pure Americana.
