Summer Passage

Driving along a regional road in the Huntsville area of central Ontario, I came across this old farm building which had obviously seen better days. The autumn colors, overgrown brush,  the patina reflected in the old barn's siding material, all attracted me to stop and record this location. Interesting enough I photographed this building from all angles and locations but the first image I took is my favourite.  Taken at 1/500 sec. f 5.0, using a prime f1.8, 35mm (DX format) standard lens under overcast conditions, this image gives me the feeling of the passage of time.  The autumn colours in combination with the structure's state of disrepair, certainly indicate that this building has reached the end of it's useful life with the exception of course being a photographic subject.
