Spring and fall views
It's a rare day when I drive past this barn without thinking about taking its picture. I took the photo above a few days ago, and I took the photo below in the fall of 2009. It looks like part of the barn may have been repainted since the first picture -- or maybe the light was just different.
The fall view is my favorite of these two photos. The sky is much more dramatic, and the background is deeper and more interesting.
I do like that fall barn photo!
ReplyDeleteYou have the eye of an artist. You always take such wonderful photos. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree The detail on the 2009 picture is great. The design on the doors is one I haven't seen before. and vegetation below the door on the right shows it hasn't been used recently Good picture.
ReplyDeleteThere is a special place in my heart for barns. They are lost in this modern age, but I remember when the barn was more important to the farmer than the farmhouse.
ReplyDeleteI took picture of a favorite barn, gave it to a friend who did a burnt wood replica - it is gorgeous. She would travel to a factory to select specific cabinet doors, using a regular wood burning tool to create the pictures.etch the barn and surroundings.
Yes I could have had it professionally done with a laser. That was not what I wanted.
I gave the etching to the family that had grown up on that farm- it has turned into a treasure since the barn is no longer standing.
Thank you for posting.
Thanks for your note, Carp;. I have great affection for the big barn that I grew up with. The ranch would not have been the same without it. It nearly broke my heart to see it in very bad repair about ten years ago. I understand why a handcrafted remembrance of a beloved barn would be much appreciated by the people who knew that structure.
