Looking Back at a Barn (Weekend Reflections # 70)

Newtown, Pennsylvania~

There are lots of roads like this in Newtown, one lane for each direction and as you can see no place to park. Sometimes I have to be creative if I want to take a picture. This is the view from down the road of the barn with the blowing snow that I posted the other day.


I won't be around very much this weekend or the coming week so I wish you all a great week!

If needed please click the link in the top right corner for Weekend Reflections instructions.
Now lets have some fun with Weekend Reflections!

    JAmes, you are always creative with your pictures, this one is awesome!
    I like a lot the fence and the winter scenery.
    Hugs and good luck with the kitty friends ( Lucy and Simba )during the next week! :)

    Hi James !

    Happy to be back on the weekly contest...

    Your picture is quite interesting ; I like the way you were able to capture the entire building in such a little frame...

    Great old barn!

    Yes, this is a source of great frustration. I can't tell you the number of time I drive around looking for a place to pull off to get some shots and can't find one. It can be a little easier on the motorcycle, but that limits the amount of gear I can carry.

    I've never enough of such snow sceneries, you seem to be lost alone in the world in the middle of an heavy silent.The picture gives a feeling of "a world in a wolrd in a world",with much depth and echos..

    I have the same situation
    either it's a narrow back road or a busy town main street
    drive-by photography is a fun challenge :)

    wonderful scene
    fantastic capture

    You fit the whole barn in your mirror! This is so good and it looks a tad cooler than OC! But, you would have thought it was cold on the beach too! Thick marine layer, damp, windy...ouch! However, it was about 76 degrees thirty miles inland! Amazing! Back to your photo...super job!

    Hi James,

    It's wonderful to see how this meme has grown along with your own photography and interest. I remember when you were asking people if they'd participate if you started Weekend Reflections. It's been a wonderful year-plus for reflection fans. Thanks again!

    Love the almost black and white look (not to live in it though:) ).
    The day after your observant comment that it was just wrong to have 80 deg. weather in January we went up to Big Bear Lake (it was only in the 40ties there!)

    It is so frustrating not being able to park but you came up with a marvelous solution, framing the barn perfectly in the rear view mirror while capturing the vast woodsy landscape. You have a good week too!

    For some reason, linky doesn't show a photo to select when I try to upload from webpage (option on right). I have to select the option to pull from desktop (on left). Any idea how I could get the option on the right to show a photo to select?

    I'm committed to this meme every Saturday! It is one of my favorites!
