The Broadside of a Barn

2017-06-26 by Ken B Leave a Comment

Shadows on side of a barn, near Calavaritas, Calaveras County, California

Sometimes simplicity is the order for the day.  It doesn’t really matter where this photo was taken.  The particulars of the barn itself isn’t a concern.  The surrounding scenery is wholly irrelevant.

No, the simple selective composition shown here speaks for itself.  A simple side of a barn… at the end of the day, as depicted by the shows… some mud on the wall, how and why is it there?… a rough stone foundation… barbed wire hanging on the wall… all serves to reinforce that this is a working barn in daily use.  That gives the photo an honest credibility.

Would you believe this is hanging on my wall?  It is.  It’s a small 5×7, framed, with a hunter green mat.  It looks very nice as a small accent piece.
