Built in the late 1800's, the barn was used to train horses to pull freight wagons during the winter months. If you like history, there is a very interesting book titled "Untamed Land: The Death of Pete French & The End of the Old West" that tells an accurate history of Pete French and how Harney County came to be one of the first cattle rich areas of the West.

Just looking at all that space - wow, how appealing on a day to day basis that would be.
A lovely landscape image!
oh, such beautiful terrain!
In my part of WI we have many round barns some of them are historical sites and others are active farms.
Looks like beautiful country for riding. - Margy
Gorgeous scenery- would love to wake up every morning to this!
I would love to wake up to that view every day instead of the city I live in! I love the wide open spaces...beautiful shot!
Also...in answer to your question, I used a lightbox for my photos on This or That Thursday...built it using instructions from someone on Blogger. I am loving it! It makes all the difference in the world!
What a lovely capture of nature's beauty, along with weather.
Love Eastern Oregon ........
Beautiful! I love your background photo... my husband and I love eastern OR, and spent several days in Burns... drove through Diamond and saw the round barn (I've got some great shots of it...)
