Lonely Farmstead.

Uploaded: January 11, 2006

Description

F/16, 1/60s, 59mm, ISO-400, handheld. Duplicate layer turned B&W with the barn erased back to color.

This shot was taken outside of Champaign Illinois. Lots of old family farmhouses dot the landscape. This one appears to be lived in, which is getting to be less and less normal...

Nice shot, Marty. I am sure it is intentional but I really like so much open sky that adds to the feeling of the loneliness that you wanted to convey. B&W helps too... #2275951

Milutin: Interesting similarity in the two pictures a quarter world away!
