I snapped this shot the other day while taking pics for “At the End of the Day”. I like it but I don’t know why. I just can’t quite find it in my hick-self to articulate the reasons. So far the reactions I’ve gotten have been “Solemn.” and “Striking”. Hey, I’ll take that. Both of those make sense to me.
What do y’all think? I have to ask because even though I enjoy taking pictures, I’ve never had any training past one semester in high school and psst… don’t tell Mr. Perry but I screwed up a LOT. This was back in the dark ages when we still had to develop the pictures and I swear – half my paper ended up ruined and stuffed behind random boxes in the darkroom so that my ineptitude remained unknown. Until now. And while I’m at it, I should probably fess up that when we were permitted by the school to walk around town and take pictures I usually just snapped a couple shots on my way home to get a snack. It’s almost always all about the snacks. Sometimes I shot pool at the local gas station. While getting a snack.
::waves at Mr. Perry::
I’m in big trouble.
So. How would you describe this photo? You can give it a name, comment on it, caption it, etc. I’m not real picky. Have at it!

I was wondering if you liked photography. I need to read more and take more classes. Although in the classes I have taken . . . I haven’t gained any wealth of knowledge.
I like the photo, I love clouds. I love red barns too.
And snacks.
I like it a lot. It has that serene feeling you get as the light wanes, the birds are settling in for the evening and all the hassles of the day are behind you.
I like that picture a lot! If you have photoshop or Elements, I might lighten the barn just a little….but the clouds are incredible!! I don’t know a whole lot about photography either. I just know when I suck. lol
I loved photography in high school and developing in the darkroom…but I think I missed up a lot too. Love digital now, but there was something fun about the darkroom and all those chemicals and the magic that happened before your eyes.
It is a lovely image, simple and strong. Bravo! Karin
I’m loving the blog and the pix! Thanks for teaching me about farming
I think it looks great…I love the simplicity of it…really captures a still moment…good job. As for a “name” I’m not good at that…
Thanks for your comments, everyone! I do really need to get Photoshop, but then I’m worried about using it TOO much, ya know?
Photoshop is addictive. You end up thinking you need to edit each photo. But it is fun!!
Absolutely breathtaking. Love the perspective. This is my favorite type of photo.
Blessings, Lea
