As it turned out, we didn't get fog, but we still were able to get some photos.
I am going to save some and settle for a quick post of a single photo this morning.
It ↓ was my last photo of the day. We had stopped to look at the scene on the other side of the road. It turned out that it didn't offer much. But when I turned around, I thought this barn looked like a very good subject.
I like photographing buildings in general: some don't, but I do. Barns, and particularly old ones, really draw my eye. Not only was this barn a good one, but there was light as well as the shadows of trees on the front. I think the fence is a very strong foreground, and, except for the the section by the road, the snow is pristine. I removed some distracting wires toward the top right corner, but I left the one that connected to the barn as I don't find it distracting. I think it almost provides a frame along with the fence.
It's not a perfect setting, but it sure isn't a poor one either.

I agree...that's a sterling barn photo! Sorry about the lack of fog, for Bob.
I like it, too! :-)
Great light on that barn! I love old barns, too, and frequently find myself distracted by them as I'm driving. That's probably not great, but it's sort of an interesting architectural feature that you can really see the bones of barns.
That brown barn is in stark contrast with the white snow.
I too love old barn photos and this is an excellent one!
A light on the past. Beautiful!
Beautiful light!
It has to be the fact that the fence is at a funny bend, but to my eye the barn looks as if it is bulging a bit.
Maybe it actually is?
But a fine light and contrast shot.
You went LOOKING for fog? yeah.
Beautifully illuminated.
You summed this photo up nicely. there's a lot in it.
Nice photo! I've enjoyed photographing barns a lot too.
My kind of photo. I have a collection of all the barns that have disappeared from a fifty mile radius in my forty years of living here.
The fence makes it.
@Mary G. I apply lens correction as a matter of course, but it may not have fixed all distortion. Or the old barn could be feeling its age. Perhaps both.
Isn't it funny how barns can draw your eye? I remember taking photos of them on trips on the mainland too. This is great!
To me your barn photo, is excellent.
Coffee is on and stay safe
I like the barn! We had fog last night. It was eerie.
Barns ARE wonderful subjects. I especially love the ones with the stone walls at the bottom like this one. And that fence is great.
