This Old Barn

This barn has been deteriorating for the past few years, and you wonder how much longer this beauty is going to stay standing. The wind has been blowing hard this past year, and it has seriously been losing ground, but even in its current condition, I still think it maintains a certain degree of rustic charm. I think it deserves to be in this week's antiquity theme.

Excellent shot Rick. I was just looking at an old barn in my neighborhood today. It'll show up on here sooner or later. I love the old barns.

[Debbie Orlando]

I love old structures. Nice work on this. Isn't it amazing how they still stand thru all the wind and weather???

[Susanne]

Nicely done! It does beg the question of how long it will stand!? : )

[Cathy Misze]

I love barns. I have a lot of pics of barns. I love the old ones like this in B & W. Great shot Rick!

[Christie Hicks]

I love these old barns, especially ones like this one that have stone foundations. Nice subject for a B&W treatment and for the weekly theme.

[hellcat]

That's such a cool shot! Looks like it would be fun to explore the inside too. :D

[Matt Clendon]

I'll bet the wind howls through the gaps on a windy night. It does have a rustic charm.

Great find and capture, Rick!

[cglist]

Nice find! I hope someone steps in here with some restoration soon!

[Ade Akinyede]

I don't get to see any barns now that I moved to the city, lovely capture and B&W shot Rick.

[Traci Wood Reynolds]

Hi Rick- beautiful shot.... good to be back to 365 and see your awesome work!

[Kristy]

Love this shot, I want to get into shooting barns and you just reminded me!

[Denise]

Lots of character.

[Mark Buehl]

Nice shot Rick. It is sad that this part of Americana is disappearing from the countryside. Around here, I see way too many barns collapsing into the ground.

[Melissa Pike]

Well, you know I'm a sucker for old, run down things, especially barns. This is just gorgeous!

[Lois P]

You've caught the barn just right - good shot.

[Anne ❀]

beautiful shot! great comp, sad they're disappearing

[cheryl green]

I think of all the workmanship that went into a building like this. Good thing you got a photo before it collapses..

[Shirley Banford]

It'll probably be there another hundred years. Heck, it's not even leaning. Great capture.

[Beverly Carmichael]

Nice! The ridge pole is still straight so it's going nowhere for now. If they repair the roof, it will stand another hundred years. Antiquity? Yes!

[Pat Knowles]

Perfect theme shot Rick, I think this theme is made for you alone !!

[Bill]

I think I love every picture of an old barn I see. Great job.

[Jane Hyde]

love the tones

[argie]

nice picture !!!
cool tones and i really like the subject !!

[Howard Steele]

Wonderful b&w capture

[John Brown]

Well captured All it needs is some TLC and it would look great.

[Vickie Posey]

Beautiful shot and processed. I agree it with the theme. :-) It's really great to capture things that one day will be gone. :-)

[Mary Tjeerdsma]

Some people say that about me! Great tones and love the subject you chose! Great theme photo! I think anything over 50 years is considered antique...right?

[Jane]

Rick just love this and so brilliant for this weeks theme! :-))

[Karen Sylvia]

What great processing!

[Della]

it may be old but it's beautiful :)

[Laurie Higgins]

This is a beautiful theme shot! I love old barns like this. I hope it doesn't fall down. That would be a terrible shame.

[Shanne]

interesting shot

[bruni]

I'm learning to love old barns and keep an eye on them lately. yes Rick I agree...you found a special one for the theme.

[Mrs. Smith]

It's perfect for the theme. You never know...it may last longer than you think.

[Fritz]

Funny thing with barns. They seem to stay with it longer than you would ever think. Love the shot.

[Courtney]

It is beautiful! I love old buildings and often wonder what they have seen

[Jody C]

This is beautiful. I love old barns ( we call them sheds here ) You can imagine what they used to be. And be a little sad at what they have become, but they make such beautiful photos.

[Ken Lemieux]

I like it. Processing turned out well.

[Rhonda Taormina]

Love old barns. The rustier, the better!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Beautiful- even in its run-down state. I agree- antiquity does not always mean the things you can hold in your hand!

[Brenda Baird]

Love old barns!

[Howard N]

A Manflower again! They are almost extinct in this neck of the woods... they are taken down board by board and turned into coffee tables and the like, and strip shopping centers grow in their place.
