This is a drive-by shot. My DIL was driving, and I was in the passenger seat snapping pictures. When I saw this one coming up, I almost flipped out. None of the structures appear to be in use, but they seem to me to be holding their own. It would be so sad to lose these
wonderful old structures.

I used Kim’s “The Red Barn” recipe from her Test Kitchen book. It called for a black to white gradient map, an ivory solid adjustment layer, and then her “scripted” texture for the final one.
awww! the older sister is in terrible shape!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty picture!
ReplyDeleteLove the drive by pictures. My pictures of my trip to Red Rocks were all driveby ones. I love it when they come out good. Actually when you take a picture in Colorado you can't go wrong.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, friend.
Another nice one! Love the barn series. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful old barn and outbuildings. Something so poignant about abandoned farm buildings.
ReplyDeleteLove your treatment to this one Genie! It certainly suits this scene.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a barn was built to replace the one falling apart but the whole scene looks pretty neglected.
Great drive-by!
this is superb Genie. truly. happy day to you my friend.
ReplyDeleteThe land so very flat, too!
ReplyDeleteNice drive-by shooting! There is just something about barns - an aura and a mystery that just begs for the camera! Great catch.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it exciting to "come up" on an old barn....or two?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great country photo.
Visiting from Barn Charm.
oh this is pretty genie! we have a 2 hour delay today because of fog, crazy!
ReplyDeleteGreat drive by shot. The internal mystery of the deserted barn and property - makes one want to go investigate. I can remember the thrill of finding an abandoned property n house, when we were kids, and you JUST HAD TO INVESTIGATE.
ReplyDeleteNice job Genie.
Awesome...what a lucky find...love the edit too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful shot! Another story untold...wouldn't you love to know what their history is?
ReplyDeleteLove to see old Barns. Here in the southwest is is a rare site, so looking seeing ones from other parts of the country!
ReplyDeleteGenie, this is a beautiful photograph! I picture this enlarged and hanging on a wall. So nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for sharing with us this week at The Creative Exchange.
Have a great day!

I'm not familiar w/ Kim's Test Kitchen book, but what you've done to this image is really cool! I like the b&w w/ the barns still in color & in red to top it off!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this w/ us here at Barn Charm =)
Great job, the recipe fits the picture perfectly.
ReplyDeleteLove the treatment you gave this shot, it looks like a vintage photo.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great find, and looks very good with your processing!
ReplyDeleteI do love old barns, and always wonder what animals used to call it their home.
ReplyDeleteJust Google ( I use Bing)tickerfactory.com and choose Event. You can make up a spring training ticker. I have one on my blog between the two Yankee pictures. Let me know if you have any luck.

Wow! Beautiful! It's a car-stopper for sure! (If you could have stopped the car, that is! :) I love the composition, and the way you pulled out the red of the barns. Just beautiful.
