Barn Sky
I took this about a month back when fall was still hanging on for dear life around here, and there was a blanket of early morning fog about. I've photographed this barn a number of times, but never posted anything. It gets my attention every time I travel past it. Anyone else have this affliction? You know a barn, house, building or storefront that intrigues you, but you have no idea why. There are horses here. Quite often there are multiple horse trailers parked in the driveway. We have a harness racing facility, Scarborough Downs, nearby. Perhaps that is what the horses here do for a living. All I know is often, in January and February, on my drive bys the horses here enjoy galavanting about in the snow.
I've pulled over to watch them.
I enjoy it too.
What's that all about?
Now I know where all your horsing around comes from.
ReplyDeleteThis happens to me a lot. I see something and take a picture. Then I get home and think, why did I take a picture of that... not interesting at all. Sometimes things just don't come out the way we "see" them. I do like this scene though. Too bad there's not just a bit more contrast with the sky.
ReplyDeleteI have many places like this and I always stop for another photo. Only yesterday did I take my fourth photo of an old warehouse and I will probably blog it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about barns... I have places I photograph over and over again. The view out the office window at sunset for instance or one particular striking art deco church. I guess I waste lots of electrons on stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteI do not have barns within reach, but I keep doing the same with some other buildings...
ReplyDeleteYes, I share your "affliction," and have many photos of the same places ... but each is unique. That's a good thing. This is an interesting barn and I love horses so I'd be clicking away here every time I went by just like you! Click!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. A place that you want to stop and photograph often but somehow your photos never really capture that "thing" that draws you in. This photo is great. I can almost feel the chill in the air and the dampness of the fog.
ReplyDeleteit's a good scene. share it more, please! :)
ReplyDeleteI too have places that I keep taking pics of but never an thrilled with the results so keep trying. Like your shot.
ReplyDeleteI have been know to go gallivanting for barns in the PNW... Could you maybe show us this one shrouded in the white stuff?
ReplyDeleteI used to ride my bike past a horse farm and enjoy watching the horses grazing.
ReplyDeleteThere are several places that I photograph regularly and then decide that I don't have something to post. I can't explain it.
ReplyDeleteHey! I post photographs of guys, too. It is just that you(and I!) notice the pix of the attractive women more.
Beautifully composed and shot!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful shot and I like the rusty roof.
ReplyDeleteThere are places like that that just draw you in.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot Birdman.
ReplyDeleteI discovered long ago that there are some places that are full of feeling and it never comes through in photographs. Doesn't keep me from trying repeatedly...half the fun is never learning...
ReplyDeleteA theme of barns might be a way for us to pay more attention to them?!
