This Virginia barn has stood in the corner of this field for many, many years. The setting sun and the very weathered old barn seemed to be perfect for each other, each with their own kind of beauty.

Sooooo ... what's this I hear about a new camera?

:o)

Good composition Sharon.

Took your image here, up to the largest resolution and there is very nice detail and clarity on the barn. Actually did so, as the colour on the one side had me intrigued to no end.

The light from the setting sun really set those colours ... quite literally to my eyes, on fire.

Very vibrant on the other colour notes as well.

Congratulations on your purchase.

I shall raise a glass of properly chilled milk (the only accompaniment to a good good cookie, you know) to many more photos from you gracing our site.

And but of course, thank you for sharing this lovely scene with us. :o)

Wonderful country landscape. I like that the field and colors on the barn compliment. Light was nice. Composed very well.

Les, I do get your hint about the properly chilled milk, and I need to tell you that just a few minutes ago I had a plate of 3 fresh-from-the-oven peanut-butter cookies and 3 chocolate chip cookies (no raisens) right in front of my monitor. I clicked "message" under your name, held up the plate, clicked "Send", shut my eyes, and.... NO cookies were sent! I can do no more than report this error to the Caedes authorities. :(

Wonderful time of day with the lighting augmenting the already warm glow of the rusted roof and weathered old barn and the grasses.

Enjoy pictures of older structures. This barn has stood the test of time. Makes you wonder just how old it is. This is an awesome shot.

Taking another look, I wonder if the darker side is maybe tin and just rusted. Great old piece.
