The Week 3 theme for Take 52 was ENTRANCE.
I contemplated the following three photos.
This first photo is looking back toward the entrance to our property. I was pleased with capturing a natural sun glare and not having to manufacture one in PicMonkey.
I wasn't pleased that it came out a bit blurry but that is what I get for taking it with my phone camera. Not too bad, but not great.
This second photo is of a church not far from where we live and the entrance is one I find quite attractive. I love the stonework arched doorway! And as it was taken in the late afternoon, the sun was giving it a nice hue.
I realized after I uploaded the church photo that the bushes are not symmetrical and I felt that took away from the overall image.
So ultimately I went with this third photo. You know I love barns of all shapes and sizes, and rustic old outbuildings. Well this one fit the bill on all accounts! This is such a pleasing entrance to the occupants property. It sits relatively close to the road but far enough back to where I had to zoom a bit. But do you see that tree on the right? It is twisted! That is so cool, and one the reasons I chose this photo. I felt like there was so much interest in this image; fading wood, dappled shade, textured and weathered siding, and that twisted tree.
I'm also linking it to The Barn Collective @ Rose Street Reflections.
Hop on over there to see more gorgeous barns.
Have a blessed day!
I love the look of southern barns. They often are worn and weathered, yet they remain standing. Perhaps the lack of harsh northern winters prolong there lives. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteWe have plenty of barns that have collapsed and very little left of them. I do think it sad when I see the homes families let go to rot.
DeleteNice barn find. That tree does look twisted! As far as the church, it looks fine, The sun light is beautiful. (but I like my shrubs to be symmetrical too, lol) Thanks for joining this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy! I tore everything out of my flower beds in preparation for starting over and making them symmetrical this year. If I don't find what I like, I may just leave them empty. Crazy, I know! :)
DeleteNeat old barn, and red, too! The church building is pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri! Most barns around here are painted a color, and many are red.
DeleteI certainly like the barn and tree! So pretty. Your 'entrance' is really nice and rural. The church entrance is beautiful and the stone is very warm looking.
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela, Thanks for stopping by! We live in the boonies, as I always say, surrounded by lots of fields and farms.
DeleteAll three photos are lovely in their own way, my dear. I do love the barn photo. There is something quite beautiful and unique about the abandon look and the way the trees look against the sky.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, my friend!
Thanks you, Stephanie! I am always partial to a good barn photo. ;)
DeleteI love that last shot...just my type of shot.
ReplyDeleteWas reading a little bit and noticed you like to read...I am reading one I got free a week or two ago called:
A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet....by Sophie Hudson.
You might like it. It is about her growing up southern. Stories of her and her family. I have had laugh out loud moments...a few bring tears to the eyes.
Hey Rose, So nice to see your lovely comment today. Yes, barns a favorite of mine, too :)
DeleteI will have to look for the book and see if it would be one I would enjoy reading. Thank you for the recommendation.
