Yeah, days gone by... Reno has been taken over by the monoliths too. It's really outgrown it's moniker of the "Biggest little City". I'm really glad you have the courage to post everyday mundane objects. I really like the lines and colors here - nicely done.

Wonderful colouration on this PJ .. you done a great job! ..

A super presentation and a touch of perspective with the barn!

I've seen these before. Like the shadows. Good Shot.

Good Image P.J. and I prefer to the older to the new! You did good as usual on the quality of your image.

I love the superb colours and the symmetry of this shot!..GREAT work, PJ!

Fantastic shadows and lines! Awesome work.

Cool image, well done :-)

Great Photo, Great Narrative. You did an outstanding job with both on this PJ. Your talents seem to know no bounds. The reference to building as skeleton was awesome. Lighting and coloring fit the mood. You even sneaked a little fall colors in the background. Just a marvelous post. I was a little bored today so I looked up meaning of ennui. You even taught me a new word with this post and how to pronounce. Have a good weekend.

What a clever title! God, I understand your feelings PJ. Whether I'm in Trois-Rivières, Montréal, South Shore, with those big stores all the places look the same. Such a pity, loosing the unique cachet of places we love...As for the image, I just love those shadows, the clarity and colours; the perspective that shows the surrounding area. Beautiful work. :)

I love the shaddows. They create alot of texture. Nice job. Terry

Interesting geometrical designs and against the blue sky it looks very good.

I love the abandonned object or building, and color of autumn give to this shed a nice atmosphere. A great shot.

Oh my...The olden days it seems like now! Very cool abandoned shed. Excellent find! :)

Nice ... this may take well to a B&W treatment.

I used to have to pick up lumber from a place similar to this when I was runner for a construction company when I was young. It's a very reminescent image for me. I wonder if 'my" little lumber company is still there since that town has grown so much.
Thanks for sharing such a nostalgic shadow of the past.

Love the shadows, the angle of this shot and the criss-crossing lines... it's kind of moody, and I feel that touch of nostalgia too... reminds me of Saturday trips to the town lumber yard when I was little... my father did a lot of carpentry and I remember the odor of fresh-cut wood, and all the places a child could 'hide' in a place like that...

WOW PJ, We must have some kind of telepathy or something. My future (real soon) ABstracts are going to be with shadows and textures. I would have had a field day there and would stare for hours thinking of what it was like in it's prime. This is a wonderful shot of this old building so rustic looking. and it's giving me some great ideas.

Mahalo!!~~>-mDs

It would be nice to see it filled with lumber again Pat...very good shot...nice composition of lines and shadows...gerry

Hi PJ,
I like the leading lines in here, they add so much to the overall structure, making it look better, (~8
Great perspective too,
You portrayed your feel wonderfully, 8~)
Nicely done,

Thanks for sharing
Kind regards
Tim♥

Those shadows make an already good image great. The mix between that golden light an them is amazing.

This is really a great shot! I love the lines and shadows. Great photo!

The sun plays with the contruction. You know shadow plays? This is a nice one. Well done.

Nice shadows and colors,a nice place,looks good.

that's a nice one PJ!
I like the perspective here ;o)

Good lines. Excellent shot, PJ.

Beautiful work. Love the detail and colours. Thanks for sharing and stuff.

Someone above said that they liked the smell of fresh cut wood. I too have a liking for those smells, especially of cedar and pine wood. It was a beautiful fall day when you took this and the angle is perfect and the clarity so fine.

Great shot PJ. I like the shadows/lights in this one. Great work.

This is a great post PJ! I love the tones in the wood framing of this old lumber shack. I miss the way things used to be too. The land where my childhood home used to be is inundated with "affordably priced" lol homes starting at around $650,000 and the malls and strip malls are everywhere. I absolutely hate it.

Disarmingly simple composition PJ, great colours too.

C'arn the Red Sox!! :))

I like this a lot PJ, it's a great example of how something really simple can become dramatic in the right light. I can see why you chose this moment, the perspective and tones are very good.

Love the shot and I love the title. Great shot!

Hi PJ
Strange the way the derelict shed still looks in pristine condition perhaps it's Your dry climate ? Even by British standards this is a very small warehouse.

~ Well the first thing I thought of was great perspective and shadows...then read your narrative and I think that and the meaning of this shot make this very good post a great post my dear! You know I can see all your work and narratives in a travel book someday...truly!
:)

Nice...you got the name right.

good lines and shadows here and nice saturation and depth.
its a shame things change sometimes, usually for the worse, this would look better filled with lumber for sure.

Very nice "skeleton" of construction, so nice it seem, what a pity to have been abandoned!! Great shot, nice place and theme!

Hm, they say that change is good, but in this case, not too certain.

I miss the good ol days!

Michael.

Cool capture. I love the lighting on it. Even without your description it almost has a nostalgic feel.

I don't know which is better - your narrative or the picture!
