sherri from Little Rock, United StatesThat's got to be an old stanchion milk barn. I've milked in one before...it's not a good feeling. We had an acqaintance who had milked a herd all of his life in a stanchion barn and was between two of his cows and they kicked him to death. Cows aren't the most brilliant animals. They just react. Still, you capture is very nostalgic and exceptionally composed. 2 Mar 2009 5:23am @sherri: thanks sherri. that's a terrible story - seems like an especially miserable way to go. bluechameleon from Vancouver, CanadaI really like these soft greys. The image feels like a memory, voices echo in the silence. 2 Mar 2009 5:24am Didier from somewhere, FranceIt is always sad to see theses abadonned places - Beautiful BW 2 Mar 2009 5:52am Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United StatesGreat image. Timeless quality. 2 Mar 2009 6:34am jpla from St Barthélémy d'Anjou, FranceJ'aime beaucoup ton N&B. Ce petit rayon de lumière est des plus réussi. 2 Mar 2009 6:38am yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, GreeceI like te half house framing with the naked trees - excellent work 2 Mar 2009 7:56am Stovepipe from Ames, Iowa, United StatesPretty and nostalgic. You feel the age in the earth as well as in the building. 2 Mar 2009 9:31am GJC from Kyoto, JapanThough you often take very detailed pictures of buildings and structures that I love, your "long" shots are really superb. The compositions are fine. 2 Mar 2009 10:29am dogilicious from Millerstown, PA, United StatesGreat shot. The lonely sunbeam crossing the barn and possibly a b and w rainbow? Nice capture. 2 Mar 2009 11:27am david from columbus, ohio, United Statesi like the warm light crossing this shot, seems to imply hope for the coming spring and even perhaps for this old place. 2 Mar 2009 1:27pm Don from spokane, United StatesI like this view of the farm house with the "stuff" stacked around it. The old "snag" out back would seem to indicate the site has been occupied for many years. Nice shot. 2 Mar 2009 2:43pm Rachael from Heber Springs, United StatesI'd like to see this painted without the rubble. 2 Mar 2009 2:55pm ordinaryimages from Kentucky Bluegrass, United StatesInteresting foreground. best...jerry 2 Mar 2009 3:47pm daina from New York, United StatesThe strip of soft sunlight leading to the barn and highlighting one corner of it is lovely. The different degrees of shade, and the transitions from shade to light are the main attractions yet I equally like the structural elements – especially the dark object in the center of the image. But this one is all about the light for me – lovely, lovely light. 2 Mar 2009 4:19pm Marcie from United StatesWonderful moody image. Nie balance between the tree and the barn. 2 Mar 2009 4:27pm Twelvebit from Victoria, United StatesAnother good job of transforming the mundane. 2 Mar 2009 4:30pm cat from Tel Aviv, IsraelThe lighting is indeed exceptional. The light in the sky and the way it falls over the building. Even though the trees are stark against the sky, and the building is abandoned, there is a sense of optimism. 2 Mar 2009 5:29pm EYES WIDE SHUT from United KingdomSuperbly captured, characterful and wonderful light. A really timeless feel to the shot 2 Mar 2009 7:38pm paolo from Castelnuovo, Italylooks like there is a hint of rainbow, i like the great long shadows in front of the abandoned building (it matches the sad mood). 2 Mar 2009 8:07pm taffer from sant boi de llobregat, SpainThat wonderful light there in the middle, it somehow belongs to the whole scene... 2 Mar 2009 9:50pm Alex from Barcelona, SpainBuen encuadre y composicion, me gusta este caseron, bueno quizas sea un granero. 2 Mar 2009 9:55pm Bill from Belton, United StatesYou know I like contrasty images Grant! This is one of the best. 3 Mar 2009 2:12am @Bill: thanks bill michele from Canadadelicious light! especially that patch of it on the grass by the open door. 3 Mar 2009 3:06am nelson from Australiabeautiful light Grant ! what a great scene and so peaceful too 3 Mar 2009 4:37am lisa v from Gawler, AustraliaLovely scene. Reminds me of an english show that used to be on the tele. 4 Mar 2009 2:55am Chris Parr from Jefferson City, United StatesOne of your best Grant. The light is superb! 4 Mar 2009 2:00pm @Chris Parr: thanks chris Lucca from Cologne, GermanyWow, this is wonderful, Grant. I especially like the light and the trees. 4 Mar 2009 10:22pm Twelvebit from Victoria, United StatesSherri reminds me of thoughts I had this weekend. We were looking at property that had cattle on it and I was telling my wife about a conversation I overheard at work. A rancher this guy knew was injured by his cattle and the guy telling the story was remarking that if someone who had grown up on a ranch and been around cattle all his life could get injured so easily, perhaps it wasn't a good idea to buy acreage and run cattle when you have no experience. 9 Mar 2009 2:51am @Twelvebit: i've never worked on a farm, but i do hear stories like that. it's amazing how many ways there are to get hurt - especially when you consider involved with a family farm. |
