I was so far beyond civilisation that the gentle plucking of banjos could be heard in the distance. This was therefore a hurried shot as a boy must protect his entrances (and exits) from the country folk and their endless ravishings.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
OK, so the rustic building is great. Please take a fav (quickly, mind you). :). I am SO laughing at your "banjoes" reference... from here, so very near the origin of the banjo pickin'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsC4kf6x_Q0
Now there's a barn with some (dark?) secrets to tell , or keep. Excellent processing - I do like the flashes of red on the side - and those clouds are perfect for this subject. Nicely done mate. Have a big big fav from me, if you want one 😁
@paul10 Oh all right then, if you insist...and I'm rather fond of dark secrets... @spanner Thanks very much :) @jamibann Thank you very much :) @rosiekerr Yes indeed...what concerns me the most though is that my computer didn't even pick up on that appalling spelling. I shall discipline myself in a suitable fashion...I may even indulge in taking to myself with a slightly damp celery stalk. @hrb73 Thank you very much :) @pamknowler I'm always careful...or maybe not. I do walk with a peculiar gait. @salza It's definitely a do-er upper... @jgpittenger Thank you very much :) @sandrajo Thank you kindly :) @maggiemae Thanks very much :) @kwind Thank you very much :)
Viewed whilst listening to @rosiekerr Rosie's banjoe picking track. I'm imagining the sounds coming straight from within the barn and someone heading to the door way to lean against it and just gaze across in your direction. You did well to scarper. Even better to get this shot first and work on it present what we see. Cool processing.
@sandrajo I think you might be mixed up. Usually country folk who involve themselves in the practice of Redneckery are only interested in option one. @365karly1 Thanks very much - you're probably quite right, they wouldn't be able to get past the glory and wonder of my fabulously well turned calf muscles. @joansmor In the country I think it's building likes this where most of the loving happens... @hermann It is a bit grim... @silverhorn Way the hell out the back of Patea, towards Lake Rotorangi & Hurleyville. @helenhall Thanks very much - it's exactly why I didn't go inside the building. I dread to think what damage would have been done to my delicate constitution. For all I know I may well have been exposed to line dancing!!! @dkbarnett Thank you very much :)
I can't tell you how much I love this but these are my favorite subject to photograph. This is a beauty and you've captured it wonderfully. And I'd say RUN when you hear those banjo plucking =)
