Out the Door L
Green Barn
Posted by Lorraine (Gatineau, Canada) on 18 September 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
You may recognize some of these sights...they're not from achives, but were taken at the same time. The reason why I'm using old photos that have never been posted (I hope) is because the heavy construction everywhere in town makes it difficult to drive around, basically because there's too much traffic to get anywhere. By the time the colours start, the road to get there will be further blocked that also means heavy traffic, parking on the street and making photography very difficult.

grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom
Lovely colour, and I like those sheds.
Well I couldn't have been more wrong yesterday. Never would have guessed it was a river. Must be a big one to get waves like that. Is this it also?

Ahhh, like a breath of fresh air, out of the confines of the traffic and construction. A magnificent view with excellent clarity and color.
At this point I'd only go to town for coffee!

Hey Lorraine! I love...love...love this image. The blue playing off of the green is amazing. I know the construction must really be hard to work with.

Janice Thomson from Canada
Such rich colour Lorraine - the barn blends well with its surroundings.
Oh to have property on the edge of a river...
Beautiful shot.

@Janice Thomson: Oh I know although I'm pretty near, still a house with a waterfront, life would be lovely lol :)
Can't wait to see my home in heaven...how about you?

Well I like this green barn, so while I'm not glad traffic is so heavy, I am glad you had a reason to post this very eye-appealing photo. My wife would love to see a place like this.

@Viewfinder: That's a lovely thing to say, thanks very much Glenn :)
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Today's color is a beautiful series of greens. What a fabulous place, and the water very close (is it a river, a lake, the sea?)
Have a great week end.

@Paco Díaz: It's a river Paco, it's more faming community.. I was hoping to get there, but the construction prevents me ;) Thanks my friend!

Christel from Köln, Germany
Good evening, Lorraine
I am very pleased to see pictures of other countries and continents. It's always amazing what I see. Each image is unique in itself. Sometimes it is very difficult to make a particularly beautiful recording. It is associated with many obstacles and work. This picture pleases me very well again. She has a particular style.
Dear greetings Christel

@Christel: I agree sweet Christel and thank you very much :)

@JoeB: You're very kind but no thanks, I'm already shaky enough ;) lol

Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
A grand shot of this barn and shed. The river int he background just helps add to the setting. Nicely framed.
P.S. I need some assistance from you. Please read the narrative for Saturday on my site. Tell others.

Oh, I just love this old green barn, Lorraine! What a wonderful, wonderful image. Sorry to hear you are a prisoner of construction and bad traffic but I do not feel like I am missing out since you are posting older images. :)
