[quote=rockdog][quote=dmeyer]Here are the remaining 8 images to my post.
You may wonder why all the tattered, leaning structures? I learned how tentative and fragile their existence is when I procrastinated photographing a 'character' barn near where I live for 16 years until one day it was demolished from a storm. I missed out just because I had been reluctant to ask the owner for permission, feeling like I would be imposing on folks' privacy. So, when I can get that old barn or house from the roadside, I get it while I can.[/quote
I strongly agree with your thoughts about honoring fragile old structures. This is such beautiful country and so enjoyable to see through your eyes. Carol has it right, your compositions are something to learn from. Thanks ageing for sharing your work!

Thank you, Phil, for your thoughtful comments--it always encourages me to make the extra effort in post processing to get the scene as 'right' as possible.

Thanks so much, Sylvias--I sure appreciate the thumbs up! Also, I'm glad you can enjoy these rural scenes. My photo buddy got me hooked on the old farm/ranch barns when we did our first trip together out in the Washington Palouse and NE corner of Oregon and I've come to look forward to coming across them wherever we travel since then.

It helps to have some sunshine brightening things up, doesn't it?! Windmills always catch my eye--I like the way they add scale. (That is the next to last you were referring to--from the first section?) Thanks for the great feedback, Angela!
That's the one.... love the windmill and old machinery, especially sitting out there in a huge field!!

A beautiful series. The old buildings look like they're in the middle of no where.

There's just something so Americana about old barns--they're hard to pass by without stopping for a shot. The irrigation wheels do make for an interesting leading line. I am curious to one day see what actually powers them forward. Glad you liked these shots, Karin.

The house on that property sits vacant and I can't imagine how anyone could leave that porch looking out at the Grand Tetons.

There were a lot of very big farm spreads in eastern Idaho from what we saw, so many of those old buildings were pretty isolated. Glad you could enjoy the beauty of the rural countryside that I've shared, Tikva.
