53/365 - Old Barn

I drove up to Battle Ground Lake because I had never been there and I thought that it might be a good place to take pictures. When I got there I found an over sized puddle that I'm assuming was the "lake", and a bunch of smokers fishing...or was it fishermen smoking? Whatever the case was, it wasn't pleasant and I didn't stay long. On my way home I saw this barn and pulled over. I stood in the bed of the truck in order to get this picture, otherwise, I would have been shooting through that barbed wire fence on the bottom of the picture.I added the gradient for effect.

Day 30 - January 19, 2011 - Thingy

I had a ton of things that I should have been doing this morning, but I decided to go out and take pictures. Good for me, right?! It was nice just driving around without a particular destination in mind. I drove down streets that I have never been down before and saw the most beautiful, old, rusty, dirty, wet and broken things. I wish I could have taken more time and explored a bit more because I was having a great time. I was able to stop at some of the places I wanted, but others are going to have to wait until the sun is out...for a certain look that I have in mind. I'm going to save some of the other pictures I took today for a rainy day - like tomorrow, because that's how I roll. I know what the rules of this project are, but it's rainy most of the time and this is my blog and I can do what I want.  :)

I'm not sure what this is pictured, ( I call it a thingy) but I think it's some sort of farm equipment that might be used for cutting tall grasses or something because it had a big blade on it. You can kind of see it covered in grass or moss towards the bottom left. (Click the picture to enlarge). It was weird because it also had a a hitch in the front, so maybe it was pulled behind something. I took it from a lot of different angles, that show what I'm talking about a little better, but this is the one I chose to post. Hope you likey! Oh, and I might re-edit this later to get the sky blended together a little better.

And if you know what it is I would love to know!
