Think I may have posted this previously, but wanted to share a point.
This was taken last April obviously not fall or even spring time looking but I thought I would share this particular picture, as this is one of the images the hospital purchased recently. Not one that I would have thought to be a favorite but I have been told it has received many looks by those who notice it. I was told I should do a barn series to go along with it.
My comment about this is that "People Love Barns" they seem to really be a big hit. So if I would suggest a additional subject to pay attention to when out and about with your camera fired up, along with the beautiful landscape that abounds us, you may take a second look at all the old barns as you pass by. You just never know.

Thanks for posting,Brad.
And the advice about barns is interesting.
I guess there is somthing nostalgic about a building which served to store and protect but which dies eventually. The once warm barn for animals and the dry area for needed hay is now gone. Kind of an empty feeling, even haunting. After all, we are a type of "barn" ourselves.

Love it, Brad. The sky was just about perfect for this scene. I like how the unsettled mood of the clouds are in harmony with the weathered wood of the barn, and how the grass contrast so well with the darker sky. And though the wood may have seen better days, that stone work will be here for a long time to come. I was impressed with the stonemasonry work when I was over there a year or so ago...some of the best work I've seen.
Very beautiful, Brad. We have many silos here, but they are more up to date as far as building is concerned. Not modern, but not interesting enough to photograph. This one, I would consider for a nice wall print.You have a great eye for interesting subjects.
Wonderful photo Brad. Barns are a favorite subject of mine.....I stand back and look at them and have all kinds of thoughts going through my....like what family owned it, what was their life like back then so on so forth. Anyways...great capture.

I've heard this one is garnering a lot of positive feedback at Stormont. I really like how the grasses contrast with the steely blues/grays of the barn & sky. I hope to see this in person so I can see first hand the fine detail I know is there. Thanks for sharing.

This a really nice shot. The muted colors work very well. The barn roof and silo have a little ghosting effect that could probably be tweaked.
