New Zealand Barn

Constructed of Oamaru Stone, naturally being in that area and the stone just lasts forever. Another side of the barn can be seen in: http://365project.org/maggiemae/jessie-s-nest-e/2013-06-09

Three Good Things:
1. A 2 hour Skype talk with son in Belize
2. Still able to wear a warm jersey knitted about 30 years ago - those old orange and brown colours!
3. It is really nice being tired at nights!

Great composition and light. Plus the leading line f the road. Fantastic. Fav'ing!

[Maggiemae]

@kwiksilver Thank you Gillian - I am getting the hang of shooting this particular stone as it has creamy tones with dark patches.

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Love the road that goes on and on and on. Love the barn in the shot, a little different than our in Canada. Great capture.

[summerfield]

i love how you composed this so that the road is on to the very side, all straight and never ending. the barn is lovely but the overall subdued colour tone makes this shot so beautifully engaging.

[Maggiemae]

@summerfield You do say the nicest things! Thank you, Ms Summers(?)

[summerfield]

@maggiemae - vikki, please and thank you.

[Marc]

[tony gig]

Fabulous stone building and view Maggie...Fav.

[Maggiemae]

@tonygig Thanks Tony! The lighting was quite bright on the longer wall so I had to underexpose it a bit to get the texture showing. Glad that it is liked!

[Alice Burghart]

Gorgeous barn.

[Loopy-Lou]

Wonderful shot and I love your composition. Fav!

[Michelle]

You are so right about the Scottish influences. That looks so similar to properties here in our countryside. Beautiful shot.

[Maggiemae]

@michelleyoung Nice to know that you recognise some influences here - it really is important to some here to relate!

[Maggiemae]

@bizziebeeme Thanks Loopy - can I call you this? It seems a bit disrespectful!
