Old barn in the snow

[tbob]

Several people asked to see this old barn once winter set in. I suspect it has. I went out this morning and braved the minus 22C (minus 27C with the wind). I wish there were more clouds but at least I got some as a relief to the big blue sky. I considered a crop, but my new art adviser nixed it.



And here I am in my natural habitat. I wanted a closer shot to show the ice in the beard but the camera literally froze solid and refused to work. It has since thawed out and is working flawlessly

I never tire of seeing your versions of this barn and this particular photo is no exception. Now that your camera has thawed out, I only hope the same is true of your beard.

Both beard and camera are fully back to normal. I suppose I am as well. If standing on the open prairie for an hour at minus 22C in the hope of getting a picture is normal.

I will try to keep the postings of the barn down to something reasonable. Nice to know that you like it though.

I recommend instead that you keep the postings up to something reasonable.

I find that this shot is really quite effective as the lighting still says "autumn", but the snow says "nope, it's winter".

Nice to see you still have road access and were able to get home without too much trouble

Trevor,

You are very lucky to have this wonderful subject at your disposal that provides us with another great image to admire, albeit the unfavourable cold.

Maybe time to get up close to it with some shielding from the wind and show some of that gorgeous wood

Grahame: this is the best I can do. I was going to get some close shots but when the camera froze that was the end of the expedition. Too bad because the ice crystals on the weathered wood was very intriguing



crop to get close view

Thanks Trevor,

The colouring and weathering is superb but even more significant is the workmanship that goes into getting those dovetails so perfect at the corners.

Beautiful photos. I like that old barn, I have seen the other photos you posted. The lighting is deceiving, it makes it look warmer than it is.
