This was the picture I was going to post yesterday before I opted for the purple theme! I know it's cheating but I decided to use it today instead. I took the dogs for a walk near Madingley, en route to Tesco, and noticed a derelict barn. I decided to try some Barn Lady shots, a la Frances, but they didn't come out so well - partly because it was not a very scenic American-style barn, but rather a shabby corrugated iron and concrete affair - but also because I'm not up to those great shots and editing. So, here, instead, a detail of hinge, wire, rust and lichen! I wasn't sure whether to crop off those tree branches at the top?
haha, Helen, ask my husband, he will tell you that I'm practically on 365 all day at the weekends, i do my house hold chaos and come back check new photos time to time :))
Oh, I think the trees at the top give the gate a "sense of place"...just the right amount, in my humble opinion! I LOVE the patina that comes after weather and time have taken their toll...nothing from the paint store could improve on this!!!
Almost no editing ( save for cropping perhaps ) are needed really, when both are involved!
Love this!
