  Original

At one time this barn clearly said "See 7 States from ROCK CITY" but as you can see much of the wood has been replaced. That, and the newer shed on the left have made this less obvious from the road. This barn is one of what used to be many on US Highway 64, the classic highway that runs from Memphis to Chattanooga. This is located in Wayne County, just east of the Hardin County border and a few miles west of Waynesboro. I find it odd how the part of the barn with the letters RO are much more distinct than the rest of the original painted wood. You can find more info on this and nearby barns on my blog Here. Technical stuff: this is a 3x HDR photo compiled with Photomatix. It was taken too close to dusk that would normally be too dim or blurry of a photo without use of HDR with the typical settings from my canon S1 IS. UPDATE: a few years after this photo was taken, US68 was widened in the area, much as it has been done all across the state. When I look at the area in Google Maps, the barn might be gone now.
