This Old Barn

Posted by Roman (Thunder Bay, Canada) on 3 June 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I do like those old barns that almost fall over from old age and don't seem to serve any purpose anymore and yet... they somehow fit into the rural environment

They have a purpose....to be photographed. Great composition. Beautiful light!!!!!!!!

stunning light, the building seems to bend away from it. I like the trees in the background too.

This is definitely one of my favourite shots today - it's really lovely in a number of ways. One would have to be quite courageous to take a shot of the inside, though :)

Great picture Roman..It wouldn't take much of a tornado to take that barn skyward..

@Jeff: You really cracked my up with you reference to tornado because then I immediately have had a thought.... well, after a good bowl of beans, standing closer to it, I could've done the same job...!!!

This looks a bit like our 70+ year-old garage!

I love the Jekyll and Hyde aspect of this image. If I just look at the right half it looks like a beautiful day. If I look at the left half it looks like a storm is on the horizon. That makes for some nice lighting too.

@Rand: Thanks Rand, that's actually a very good observation

Lambspun from Madison, Maine, United States

Oh my....this barn is awesome! There's something about the photo where the barn seems flat and the sky seems like it's real and moving.....What a wonderful photo!
