Abandoned Memory
Old dilapidated barn with rustic red doors. This old barn will be torn down sometime this month. Someone in the neighborhood complained that it was an “eye sore”.... so sad!

Excellent capture. Love the lightihng and tones you drew out and that fabulous red door. So sad to hear that it will be torn down, it has so much character….
This would be a wonderful candidate for the group The Red Barn…

Eyesore, my foot! This is like fine wine that has aged beautifully. I’m glad you got a shot of it before it’s torn down, Maria. And Kimmie, you gave the old barn a grand way to go out in style!

Maria,
Beautiful old barn. It’s a shame buildings like this are torn down. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful to know the history of the barn.

I love this. What a shame it is being torn down as an eye sore. Good that you got a good shot of it first.

Such “eye sores” are what makes old, rural ares so wonderful.Just to see somrthing that was once useful & now discarded…makes one stop & think… It is a beauty!

Excellent capture! It’s not an eye sore at all – old barns have a beauty all their own. So glad you capture it before it was gone!

There is so much character in these old buildings! Wonderful find and capture Maria!

Awesome Barn! And a wonderful picture. That busy-body neighbor out to be forced to move to town—my worst nightmare! This lovely pic would probably be welcomed by the Windows and Doors group.

I’ve seen barns in much worse shape still being working barns…I hate it when others become the3 arbiters of “eyesores”
great pic!

A beautiful photograph, so typical American in all ways. Happy 4th to you. If this was in central Victoria, Australia, where we live, they would put a preservation order on it before you could blink.Regards, Heather

Beautiful old barn…great capture…!

just gorgeous!!!! I’m so sorry it’ll be torn down … sigh … but how wonderful that you captured its beauty before it’s gone forever!!
Maria Dryfhout replied
The barn was burned down last week. Pieces of wood were removed before it was destroyed, and an 18X24 frame was made for this photograph…. so sad! Photographs are so important for us to remember the way life once was….

So sad. There was a lot of history there. It is good that you were there to preserve it forever and what a lovely thing to do, making a frame. Many congratulations on the feature Maria:-)
