Oh dear...I posted the wrong barn above. That one was really the Patio of Barn #7: Four Brooks Farm. I'll put the real one below. #8790400

Michelle- For me it don't matter, I find so much beauty and charm in all the pictures and it is so sad that someone would even think of destroying these old buildings. Their beuaty still stands out, the history behind them still speaks. Gorgeous colors, composition, and preservation of history my friend.
Have a wonderful day, take care. #8790864

On the original entry: outstanding tones, textures, clarity, perspective, low lighting & mood ! An interesting piece of history & captured exceptionally well, Michelle! All photos are wonderful.

I guess many people agreed with your comment/opinion on my "Country Charm" image! Thanks, Michelle! #8791728
