I couldn’t resist taking a snap of the side of this ‘barn’. I don’t know how old it is, but judging by the window in the upper left face it must be quite old. I like the obvious changes/improvements that have been made over time – in particular the barred windows and the little fanlight above the door. I like the harsh dark shadow of the tree across the face of the building, almost like some ancient cracking in the stone work. I like the deep blue sky. But most of all I like the sheep which just happened to be in the right place at the right time – its pose reminding me of those old paintings where a wealthy gent stood in front of his prize possession, a horse, bull or country house.

I understand why you couldn’t resist this building. Old buildings have a character that has me grabbing my camera as well. I too like the shadow across the wall. Well done!
Thank you!
Excellent captured… 🙂
Thank you!
Amazing photograph, blue colours and the sheep hit me. Thank you, love, nia
Thank you!
Historic old stones touched by the shadow of a protective tree. Quite a lovely shot.
Thank you!
I love old buildings too and I agree the sheep is a great addition !
Thank you!
Nice for the sheep to pose with the barn. 🙂
I wondered if it thought I was a talent scout for a film set in the dales. (no jokes about casting couches please!) 😉
I’m wondering if that building was once something grander than a barn, note the ‘fan light’ over the door, not a feature you’d expect to see in a barn… an irresistible shot
Indeed. It’s the sort of thing I find intriguing about these sort of buildings, so much history wrapped up in a wall.
One of my favourite things…
