This is sad. No life in the picture when there was nothing but life around these old barns just a couple of decades ago. Times have changed a lot and with it when most of the life that lived and worked on farms.

Sepia suits this - it's timeless in its lack of modern technology.

Wonderful sepia subject!
I do agree with Abe - not as busy around this one as in times gone by.
I'm happy seeing it seems really well taken care of.

Dagrun said...

I do agree, one sometimes has the feeling time has not advanced a bit. Sepia emphasizes that of course.

Oh I love the barn image in sepia, very effective at evoking feelings of days gone by.

Just a superb photo. Reminds me of so many farms in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Thank you for sharing and also for stopping by for Ruby Tuesday.

This aged scene could have occurred 100 years ago. A peaceful farm just awaiting the crops to grow and be harvested. A beautiful and timely view!

Julie said...

Barns are one of my favorite subjects, old wood, they just beg to be sepia or black and white. Great capture.

PJ said...

It's great, you could have fooled me. I wish I was around more of this. I really appreciate that you feature so many beautiful country scenes.

Mojo said...

I'd have to concur. Sepia suits the subject. (And other alliterative thoughts.) But if we were to go back to the time when this place was hopping, we'd be shooting film!

Oh the horror!

I like barns but I prefer the red ones.

No matter how many barns I see, they are all so great.

Oh, Oh, Oh! I know what that pile next to the barn is!! It's where you grow horseradish! Seriously it is.

You have such beautiful countryside all around you, what a gift.

The barn is looking good in the sepia tone :)

It certainly is refreshing to see that some things haven't changed much:)

Mariz said...

Perfect in sepia. Loved your composition.

Deb said...

Great effect in sepia, looks like it was really an old photo!

Roan said...

Looks like Grandpa's old barn. Makes me nostalgic.

EG CameraGirl said...

Not to worry, Abe. This IS a working farm. And there are many farms in my area still.

Some feeling of solitude...
Beautiful sepia!

Old barns are just perfect for sepia scenes, and yours certainly is!

OK, you're just kidding us, right? In fact, you did a spot of time travelling over last weekend, right?

EG is another time, I love following your blog.

So sorry I am late making sepia rounds this week!

You know how much I love seeing rural scenes and especially the barns. This looks wonderful in sepia! I didn't get the feeling of abandonment from seeing it - more like a pause in the day's activities.
