Fading into history

I pass this lovely old farm on the way to our new house. I don't know that history behind it (yet). I believe it was a dairy farm.

Nice editing what a great scene

So sad to see those old family farms fade. Such a nice capture to document it.

The lens baby does capture the feeling of something that is receding into the past.

Love this in b& w and the way you presented it

[Yao RL]

I love the result. How did you get this result?

[LManning (Laura)]

Love the processing.

[Jane Pittenger]

Sad

Love the processing, including the frame that makes it look like an old paper photo.

@yaorenliu Thank you so kindly. I used (getpaint.net) for the pencil sketch and curve adjustments, then silver efex for fine art preset with increased structure and layered over a darker copy. Kinda convoluted but editland can lead me into very weird places.

@shutterbug49 @jgpittenger @ljmanning @milaniet @gardencat @marlboromaam @onewing Thank you all so very much. I must find the courage to walk up closer to this farm but maybe in the spring. I have fond memories of my Grandfather's dairy farm.

I thought it might be infra-red. so well composed and exposed and edited...

I like the edit. It looks almost like a pencil sketch.
