The other barn...
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 23 July 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Another 10-year-old photo from our long trip; these old farm buildings known as Mormon Row have withstood the elements for more than a century, making them not only a great spectacle, but also much-photographed. The farmland here was homesteaded by predominantly Mormon settlers in the early 1900s, but was later purchased by Rockefellers Snake River Land Company and transferred to the Park Service.
This is a stock photo of this old barn, taken of course, with a much newer camera.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

Outstanding. Excellent framing of this remarkable old barn.
This really is a stunning image. It appears as though you recently took this.

@Barbara: Thanks ... it's such a pretty section where these barns are - wide open spaces!
This photo for some reason, didn't take on the graininess when the photo was scanned; it pleased me.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
I love this shot; I like it better than the stock photo. The colors are more muted, it is more weathered-looking and natural.

@Viewfinder: Thank you, Glenn. I like that I caught a bit of the foreground fencing and a little more of the trees that are such natural framing elements.
The stock shot is over-sharpened to my eye; the late afternoon sun is strong, so it changes the colors. Plus, mine was a mid-summer photo and I think the stock one is earlier by the snow and the colors. You can't beat the snow on the mountaintops, though.
