I really like the the depth of richness in your tones. They must look sensational in print. This looks like an upturned boat turned into a barn to me.

@Matt Sutton: it does look like that. not much call for boats in kansas though.

This is an unusual looking barn. It makes me think of those old WWII quonset huts. I've also seen a barn similar to this is Colorado. There's a small airplane inside.

@Suzanne: it is unusual, and to be honest, i'm not completely sure it's a barn.

Certainly not the "run of the mill barn" Grant. Very unusual... unusualer than round barns I must say! Great find and a beautiful shot Grant! (P.S. I just found two more old barns last Wednesday.)

Love the cavernous dark “door” that looks like someone cut out at random simply because they needed an opening that large. The electrical tether is also neat. Anyway it looks like an upside down Viking boat. Terrific shot and the tones and values are wonderful.

I love the shadow over the form inside the barn. Beautiful.

i like the open door on the side and house behind. the place as you've caught it seems to invite exploring.

Wow! This looks more eastern European than Kansan. Do you know what the architectural influence is? Awesome framing, tones and textures.

@Mindy: i'm guessing the architectural influence was the whim of the builder or the availability of materials - but i could be completely wrong...

i'd love to see the shot in colour...looks like there's some great rust down the sides there! really nice shot.
