PHOTOGRAPH INFO

Another photograph from Virginia. This barn was at the corner of a three-way intersection of backroads. It's a nice old hay barn, well worth restoring -- the hand-hewn beams and timber siding date it to the 1800s. What finally knocked it down is anyone's guess! (The fallen wood appears dark in the photo but the barn was not burned.)

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens at 24mm, ISO 400, f/9, 1/400s. Curves adjustments, color balancing.

Thanks for visiting Durham Township!

If only the fellow had possessed the presence of mind to install a crystal chandelier in the loft, the structure could have been protected from the detrimental effects of the power line resonance.

I'm liking this ride, Kathleen.

A place that stored horse and cow chow
Now yields to neglect of roof and hay mow.
It's work is now done
Warmly lit by the sun
A field is the stage for this barns final bow.

W Durham i Ostrolece takie samo slonce.
Look my blog :)

I love the swooping form of the barn's fallen boards and the perspective created by the power lines and the clouds. Nice!

Then there is that little storm, (sneaking off right-stage,) that could have done in the poor little old barn.

i wonder what type of animal life now lives in that barn?

hello from argentina!
its been a long time since i have been looking at your pics and i find them really awesome

im just starting on photography, check my site if you have time :)

regards!

This photo is amazing. When looking at the barn I think about the past and what is was used for. Also, I think about how long it has been there, since it seems that the power lines were placed after the barn. The colors are brilliant and beautiful. It is kind of interesting to see the storm to the left of the photo. It could be moving in, but it is interesting to think that maybe the storm is moving out. What if the storm was what flattened the barn? I love the line of power lines...it leads my eye to the back of the image just to see what is back there. Great photo.

The mood in this is really perfect. It has me thinking will what little is left standing of the barn be able to endure the storm? Or did it manage to endure yet one more?

I guess you'll have to go back next year and let us see!

A mischievous storm
Exits stage right
Can shoot the breeze
To his pals tonight
'bout the little old barn
That lost the fight.
