The story behind the photograph

A gambrel-roofed barn in Scott County, Iowa stands in late winter sun — its dramatic golden-yellow wooden shingle roof peeling and missing in patches, weathered gray vertical board siding below, a rusty red fuel tank and old wire fence in the foreground, bare trees alongside, all under a partly cloudy blue sky. An extraordinary study in texture and the slow passage of time on the Iowa landscape, the kind of barn that stops you on a back road and makes you reach for a camera.

A meaningful gift for an Iowa history enthusiast, barn lover, rural landscape admirer, or anyone who appreciates the beauty of a working structure left to age on its own terms.

Back of card: Blank, with the Midwest Wilderness Connections logo and the following description along the bottom edge: “Historic barn. Scott County, Iowa. — Midwest Wilderness Connections www.MidwestWildernessConnections.com”
