OLD BARN № 047steemCreated with Sketch.

in #homesteading5 years ago
It's always a bit fascinating to see something old and something new, side-by-side, such as the large electricity transmission tower and a barn, symbolic of rural farm life. Tall towers such as this support cables that can carry electricity over long distances between the power-generation facilities and substations that service local areas.

This barn, on the other hand, services a local area only... 😁

This barn's blue color is almost unique — although the next barn I will show is also blue — as most barns in this area are either unpainted, weathered wood, or else painted red or white. It's also interesting in that the drive-bay and hay-door are offset to one side rather than being in the middle.

Also note that the gate is constructed with ample room at the bottom, so it can be opened and closed even if the grasses in the field are rather high. I think that was a rather clever design!

I am not sure if the artistic processing on this photo will allow me to use the hashtag #creativecoin without getting in trouble or not... but here goes, and hoping it is acceptable... 🤞

For me the, seeing the electrical/power lines and tower take away from the beauty of days gone by

Very unique thekittygirl. As we were driving down the highway through the countryside yesterday I noticed how the power lines make it difficult to photograph the true beauty of nature. They are indeed everywhere! Quite a contrast to that old sweet barn. Oh the stories it holds!

I like the processing on the image and the end result. Very nice! What a great juxtaposition of old and new with the tower on the side.

A really nice effect on the photo!

Ah! Those transmission towers look the same as hours and I spent many days at the top of those towers. I worked for a contracting company that maintained the towers.

The barn shot is excellent my friend.
Blessings!

I wonder if the owners of this property were upset when that tower was built. They were being put up all over the northeast 25 or so years ago, and making people pretty mad. Now we don't even see them. With 5G coming in and no escape for any of us, these will become quaint.
Why would processing the photo make it ineligible for using the creative coin tag?

Actually, I wasn't sure if my processing would count as "artistic" work by the CCC peeps, or not. It rather pales in comparison to some of the drawings, paintings, music, and such that is shared here.

Sometimes, landowners are paid a monthly fee for allowing the right-of-way for these towers on their property. This is an electric-service tower, not cellphone, but I know a man who allowed a cell tower on his farm and receives a check of a few hundred dollars each month! But, these electric towers will remain after the cellphone towers become antiquated, I think.
