Ruffled Tin Roof

OK, by now you’re probably tired of old barn pictures.

This one caught my eye because of the tight vertical lines in the wood and the wave-like curves of the metal roof, as if it had rippled in the wind and gotten stuck that way.  The wood is very resinous and leaves a black stain. Some of the planks have been cut in half and replaced with newer wood.  A loop of fence wire is still hanging from a peg on the left side of the image and the green plants make a small bit of color and texture contrast.

Weathered Siding and Old Red Paint

I just couldn’t resist taking this shot of some old, rotted external planks where they meet the corner of the barn. They are so weathered and worn that they’re no longer even or have smooth edges. Bits and pieces of them have split and broken away leaving the rough horizontal textures and shapes you see here, a sharp contrast to the relatively smooth vertical painted planks.

This was shot with my Canon Rebel XTi and my Canon 70-300 zoom lens around 7:30pm in the evening in the historic park near my house.
