This is a mood image. Standing alone.

Very nice capture. Very calming and peaceful image.

Thanks Kerby! I have been looking at this barn as I pass it, trying to decide where to photograph from it for a long time. I like this angle. I may try to catch it at sunrise some day... (the picture is facing due east.) Though I am more of a sunset picture type! LOL! #2231384

Thanks Corrine. I see we're posting at the same time again tonight! LOL! #2231385

You ever heard of Olney, Il. that is where I grew up. Beautiful shot!! #2233621

Great title and placement of your subject, Marty!

Happy New Year!!! #2234100

Martin J. Preslar December 29, 2005

Thanks Linda and Darryl! And Happy New Year to everyone!

Linda: Yes, I have heard of Olney, but never been there. I expect there is a little more roll to the land there since it is south of I-70.

This would be even cooler if you could get closer to catch more detail...It looks like an awesome old barn! Good work Marty! #2234361

Thanks Jill! I will probably post some more that I took the same day in the next few days. Some of them were zoomed in more. I do love the 28-300mm zoom! :)

I am trying to find some more of these old derelict barns that dot the countryside from bygone days when more farmers actually worked the land they owned around here. There is a lot of history in those old planks! #2234393
