another drive by by summerfield

another drive by

here's a barn photo i took last sunday when partner and i, on a lark, went to visit his parents' tombs in lynden, ontario, about a 1.5 hours drive west of toronto. partner was going quite slow, 80 kmph, but i had spotted this from a distance and knowing the road from when i used to drive around here, i knew the exact point when i would have to press the shutter. and voilà! four frames and only one was not acceptable as it was tilted. on this one, the leaves from a tree on the left lent a more natural feel and gave the photo some depth, n'est-ce pas?

sooc, except for the frame and name tag from ribbet.

thank you for your kind views and comments; know that they are much appreciated. my awesome-august post is here: http://365project.org/summerfield/365-again/2012-08-15
@olivetreeann @catsmeowb - because you like silos and/or barns, this is for you.

I love it. I also love that you can describe going to the parents tomb as a "lark" Somehow that expresses a joy and celebration of life

I like the colors on the barn. A great shot from a moving car!

This is gorgeous, beautiful colours and I love the style of the barn. Wish we some like that but I don't think I've ever seen one like it anywhere here in South Africa!

nice drive by - but you know...Ipiccy has a handy tool for straightening photos so you might yet save that other one. I love the greens here.
