There is an old barn in a small stand of trees, beside a highway and only a couple minutes from my house. The highway is busy and there is not really a good place to stop. I have been admiring this barn, as I speed by, for years!
A couple weeks ago with the threat of snow coming and the fall colours still looking nice, I decided to ask permission to shoot the barn. The owner was very nice and did not mind at all. I took images from almost every side except the back of the barn. The weeds and grass were very tall and wet and I think the 3 sides I did photograph were fantastic. It started to rain as I was leaving so I am glad I stopped by when I did.
Great shots! Love that last one especially!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie! That last one was just as I was leaving as it started raining, I am glad it turned out!
DeleteWith that roof line, it won't be long. Looks like tire chains on the fence.
ReplyDeleteHi Gorges, best to photograph these places now. I have waited to long before and returned to an empty field.
DeleteNice barn
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra! I have always liked it. There was a horse there once and it made the nicest scene.
DeleteThese are wonderful pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks RedPat!! I am glad I finally got them.
DeleteYes... fantastic indeed. Asking for permission was well worth it.
ReplyDeleteIt really is! Thanks Andy!
DeleteA very picturesque building well photographed. I like the first, third and fifth shots especially.
ReplyDeleteThanks John, the 5th shot seems to be a fave!
DeleteI think this one is on 11A from Sylvan to Red deer. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteHi Red....close!!!
DeleteWhat wonderful photos of the barn, very nice to see. I love the last one with the chain and the view, it's nicely composed.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Bill! I love having time to spend walking around and checking out all the angles!
DeleteA splendid barn!
ReplyDeleteThanks William, it's all covered in snow now...I should go back!
Delete...fabulous shots Jenn. I see a lot of barns like this in my area. The black and white and the shot through the chains are favorites of mine. Thanks so much for joining the Barn Collective, I hope that you will stop back again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom! It's funny, that chain shot was just a quick one as I was leaving but it seems to be a fave!
DeleteNice work again Jenn
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I can't resist an old barn!
DeleteYou really have the "eye" for a wonderful composition. You made that barn look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Glen! Nice to have a few nice spot close to home when I can't get away to explore.
DeleteYou took these shots at exactly the right time Jenn, that sky adds so much drama and atmosphere, fabulous 💙
ReplyDeleteThanks PDP! I love that kind of sky!
DeleteThe barn photos are beautiful Jenn, I'm happy to hear you stopped by before the snow!
ReplyDeleteHi Rain!
DeleteI am glad too, but now that we have snow...I want to go back! lol
A swayed-back beauty. Catch them before they're gone.
ReplyDeleteHi Michael! Exactly! Like Pokemon....gotta catch 'em all! haha
DeleteThere is something really grand about an old barn, and to see one fall into disrepair and ultimately collapse is very sad.
ReplyDeleteHi David, I agree! They were once such an important part of a homestead.
