This hay barn in upstate NY has seen better days. I like weathered, wooden barns and there was no shortage of them in rural NY and Vermont. As always, thanks for looking and leaving a comment.

Even a weather beaten shattered barn can look nice as you have proved here Doug. Nice capture with good colors.

I would think they would still store bales in that ruin!...At least it would keep the mice warm eh!..

Good vantage point for this great perspective shot

Although I agree with you Doug, I like to say that the lack of maintenance in this case has its charm as well, resulting in a very picturesque image.
Very well done my friend.

This shot looks like it could have been taken in my neighborhood here in Ohio. I love that old barn and the bales of hay. Well done, Doug.

That barn could be anywhere in the Eastern USA. We have many in that condition or worse here in Georgia. You have made this one unique with your composition. I enjoyed viewing it.

We have a few of those old barns around too. Won't be long and it will be overgrown with vines. Makes a nice capture though. Good work.

Doug - There are too many barns in this condition, which is too bad. Terrific lines in this fine capture.

Looks like the vegetation is trying to eat up the bard :)
A great composition. I love the round haybales lined up

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

I love scenes like this one and it is so sad the ones You see where the barn has finally given up and collapsed. This is a great shot, Doug.

Great character in the old barn with it's dilapidated structure and vine covered wall. Nice composition of the photo, Doug.
