Hi Marcel.
This is a barn that used to be filled with dairy cows. It is in the neighboring village. We didn't get a blizzard last week, but we had a fierce windstorm.

Sehr schöner Bildaufbau.
Wirkt wie aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Prima! :-)

Thank you. Read what I just wrote Thomas above and you will have your answer why I didn't obtain the perfect composition. It is the lesser of two evils and I had to make a choice.

... and better than being run over by a truck. the barn looks magnificent. something that is old but will still be there when we are gone.

Hi Matthias. The picture was taken in northern Maine. I wasn't too pleased about having to cut the top of the birch off, but I was forced to do it. I couldn't get any further away from the scene because I was standing in the highway and that's the best I could do with that lens. I wanted all that nice foreground in there so it was either that or all of the tree.

hi craig, what a wonderful picture. too bad you cut off the birch a bit at the top but that ist not too important. where did you take the pic? i saw alot of these in minnesota and desperately wanna go back there to make a "barn-tour".
cheers

Hello Martin. It was shot in color with my Nikon D2h and then converted to grayscale. I just played with contrast and brightness to arrive at this result. I was forced into using the composition you see. I could either include all of the tree and less of the interesting foreground. I chose to go with the foreground.
Best regards ~ Craig
