Growing up in a neighborhood that was literally plopped in the country of NC, it was not uncommon to pass a barn every single day. Now that I’m older, with a fancy camera of my own, I’ll pass a beautiful barn sitting peacefully in the countryside and think “that would make an amazing photo.” Well, that’s exactly the case with these ten photographs that capture the rustic, beautiful essence of North Carolina country life.
