I posted this photo on Michigan in Pictures today and liked it so much that I had to share it here as well!

Barn at the Eckhert Farm, Autumn View, photo by John Clement Howe.

John Clement Howe has some beautiful photos of the Barns of Sleeping Bear. You can view more of his work at the Eden Hill Gallery

The Eckhert Farm is located in the Port Oneida Rural Historic District in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Thanks to Jim Sorbie of Empire for pointing me to John's photos!
