Beautiful Barns Of Brighton, New York

I was driving home from a weekend visit to the farm. When I passed through the high Adirondack plateau in Brighton, I grabbed my camera and began taking pictures of the beautiful old barns in the surrounding fields. These old fields are gradually being sold for expensive housing, so I'd imagine that the barns' future lives are limited. This barn's hayloft door has been open for years and those hay bales are at least five years old:

Another barn with a large open door and some boards beginning to come off:

This former hay field has already been sold for housing, and there's new houses being built all the time:

Another old barn, this one off the highway on a side road:

And yet another old barn:

A rather unique barn with an extensive field behind it which stretched out far into the forest:

Another old barn on the highway:

This has always been one of my favorites. It had a Christmas wreath on its door and an old hay rake parked outside next to a white birch. This photo enlarges well and would be worth clicking on:

I continued on the highway to Darwin Brown Road because there was another interesting barn right across the road from this sign:

Two old sheds, probably animal housing once upon a time, with an antique pick-up parked out front and a lane leading back into the mysteries of fields and forests:

And, while not a barn, this old house was part of the above property. It is occupied sometimes when I drive by, but the owners appear to want to keep everything as it once was, including that old roadster parked out in the snow. This is a mystery to me. I'd love to know the story here. This photo also enlarges quite well:
