This is a very strong image, Grant! The old shed has such a fine setting... secluded, snow-laden, trees, etc.
The snowy shed makes a wonderful subject. Excellent work.

It's so beautiful and tone-rich and still on one hand - and on the other it's rather frightening and lonely. The open door of the hut and the blackness beyond, and the dark woods. It feels slightly uneasy.

An attractive small hut. I like the almost black tone of trees behind the small hut. I like so particularly two or three trees a little covered with snow on the left, I like their movement.

Nice find. I love sheds/barns/outbuildings. They can be simple or complex but best of all - they have the most character - when they are falling down. No matter how nice a house is, the care of the sheds says a lot about the land.

A spectacular exposure Grant! The subject and the surrounds are outstanding! Like it very much!

I like the little trees that have grown around it, no doubt it gave shelter to the seeds as they blew down from the bigger trees behind, a place of refuge that is finally giving itself back to nature.

The old shed does not provide much protected any longer. I agree with Richard I like all the small trees growing around the shed.

Someone walked right past it or are those animal tracks? In any case it looks dark and cold in there colder than outside and no one would stop for shelter in there – just keep going. Love the texture of the snow and the light feels like the last tired rays of the day. I can’t wait for summer to see if the feeling of darkness in many of your images fades away with winter. Wonderful moody image.

Don't know what a Waldron shed is but it's a nice image.

@Suzanne: thanks suzanne. 'waldron' (missouri) is just the name of the little town where this was taken.

Did you ask yourself "why?" or are you beyond that? I thought I was beyond it, but I've had a relapse:-)

@sherri: that's a good question. i guess i've sort of half asked 'why,' but then i think of all the people i know who golf, and the absurdity of that if you think about it for a minute.

I imagine the snow is a little deeper today. best...jerry

It cuts into my consciousness like a memory. The footsteps are a nice touch that speaks of neglect, just passing it by.

I'm always wondering for what these small houses have been used. You already captured a lot of them. – love those lost places in your images.

@Lucca: sometimes it's fairly clear - the shed is obviously part of someone's property, a farm out building, extra storage, something like that. this one is confusing for me. it sits on a corner in this very small town, surrounded by uncleared land.
Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
Just like that? An empty structure in the landscape.

@Howard F.: can you believe it?

Well, the place probably had something else on it when the shed got put there.
