This photo is another shot from my drive on New Years Eve. My grandfather and I have taken photos of this barn on many occasions because of it’s rustic look and perfect placement on the curving road. The barn is only a 10 minute drive from my grandfather’s house. I was happy to get a nice blue sky in the background.
My grandparents own a house in north-eastern Pennsylvania, just north of the Poconos. Ever since they bought it, my grandfather has been slowly converting it into a rustic paradise. When they added this room onto the house, I had the opportunity to help out with some of the projects. I helped build the hearth and the rock wall behind it. The framed prints are shots I took on vacations we went on together.
Every time I go to visit, I think about how I should take some photos of this room. This past trip up there, I finally dragged my camera gear out and explored some compositions. I took photos during the day, before the sun starts shining in the windows to the right, and at night, when the small lamps add a nice mood. Now that I think about it, I should have started a fire in the wood stove for the night shots. Oh Well.
