Sunday Stills - The Old Barn

I think I had a clear advantage in this weeks challenge - Provençe is full of old barns!

This one is a two minute walk from my house.  Maybe it's not really a barn, but it's an agricultural building of some sort!
The biggest challenge here was getting a shot which didn't have a phone or electricity cable running through it.
See what I mean?

A little further down the road, we've got this :
but I have to confess that the stone building behind it with the gaping windows was calling to me.

I went all arty and B&W :
What do you think?

I came back and edited this post to include this beauty - I couldn't leave it out!  We passed this in the Isère region when we were doing our trek across France last year.
The epitome of an Old Barn, don't you think?

  1. I like the black and white! Those are some cool old barns. Most barns around here are the red ones and they are falling apart (they are not being used, I hope!)

  4. Great pics. Liked them all but my fav is the last one.i too had trouble not getting power lines in my pics.I guess my barns aren't old enough cause they all had power going to them ....even the ones I saw that were falling down.

  6. I love the two last ones. The B&W is really fitting for an old barn, and the French really is a beauty.

  8. What a variety you have available. Seems a photographers paradise for barns. The first one is fascinating ... wonder what it was used for. The last one is remarkable! Would love to know the history on that one.
