Danette this was taken last week. It's still not spring here and literally that is how it looks. Not that cold - usually it's far beyond these temperatures here now.
You would never think that students are around but they were - but just waiting till all were in there class. I was not sure as I have so many on what I would have named all these, but I do love angles with pictures and the way in which the ray is coming out of the glass on the second floor. Yeah...
If only more time Danette as I was parked in a prof's parking area and I took more than an hour in trying to find that certain ....vantage, but I agree, and once summer is around as I have mentioned before I am going to get some of these down as it very difficult when it's cold pondering around for that certain picture or certain quality that you want and I did not have my tripod.
I love em, I can't tell you how much I do. My knees are not all that good in this climate and I had to walk half a mile not kidding to get into it. But was it worth it - definitely. There were several other barnes and ones that were left "behind" within time, but this is as good as I could get it. I don't know what the collapsed area was for.
Haha! You should come to Kentucky sometime. We have all kinds of falling-down barns. Mostly tobacco barns, now that the bottom has fallen off the market for smokes materials.
Old barns are something that you ponder the history on - who lived in them and what they did etc. I remember barns in upstate as well as other parts of Canada but only during the winter - within Canada that is.
No, no blue grass where I am, but there's a lot of bluegrass going on at times (music... this is its homeland, after all). I'm in the foothills region, where we get a lot of weird weather (it rarely matches the forecasts). In fact, I live on the one major mountain in our area. But I used to work in the bluegrass (Thoroughbred horses). All in all, I think I must have seen at least a million barns in my 45 years -- the greater majority in some stage of falling-down.
There is a kind of grass that looks blue in the spring, and it grows where there is a lot of calcium in the soil (limestone), so it's good land for raising horses. By summer, however, it's a crispy yellow-tan, in large patches across the paddocks. The item of romance and legend isn't so romantic then, and it hardly appears to be the stuff of legend.
My area is short on calcium and long on hills. A lot different.
I love photography and wish I had the patience for it. There is so much beauty to capture in the moment of a shutter's blink. Once again Jack has shown why it is si fantastic. Great photos, Jack.
No it's an....whichamacalit....observatory or nature that is connected to an art galary here Lyn. Yeah that was taken yesterday. Gives you some idea of how much snow we did get.
Very....at this time this should not be this way. What I mean to say is that we have in this province (which I returned too after two years...smiling), we have not had this length nor duration of this climate as I am off and have one meeting to go too today, I right now have the wash in and the sun is out and my god Lyn when your up at 5 in the morning and to see that sun rise, I can not describe it.
Makes me always want to put on long johns and not "storm chase" but "picture chase" out on the highway. ~smiles~, but then again there YOU ARE :) in a Mediterranean like climate! It's just not fair don't ya know! :)
This is one of four libraries not considering the seperate collegues that have there own. We never slept, I remember studying and taking over the counter pills that kept you awake. Hmm, maybe that is why my philosophy prof, had a difficult time in understanding me as well as me understanding him as he has a speaking problem. But after a test did we go and sleep - hmmm...:)

ReplyDeleteDanette this was taken last week. It's still not spring here and literally that is how it looks. Not that cold - usually it's far beyond these temperatures here now.
ReplyDeleteThis again was within the University - I love the old stone that is contained within it.
ReplyDeleteYou would never think that students are around but they were - but just waiting till all were in there class.

ReplyDeleteThe largest complaint around town right now is that we were hit with another snow storm. Say hi to California Karyn!

ReplyDeleteThe grass is blue I would take it? ~smiles~

Where did that saying come from with regards to .....oops "Kentucky Blue Grass" ?

ReplyDeleteJudging by that rifle in his hand, he's probably going to ask that the overdue fees be waived.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures remind me of my old university library. But there seem to be fewer benches
ReplyDeletefor the students to sleep on between classes. :-)
Nice the way the sunlight hits the facade--could be somewhere in Europe.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the opening of a Coen Brothers movie. Burrrr!
ReplyDeleteI love angles...
ReplyDeleteLaughing Doug....
