The Barn With The Blue Doors
We drove past this place while we were out strawberry picking last weekend in the Lanaudiere region north of Montréal.
It’s hard not to notice a weathered old barn with a tin roof and some lovely blue doors, so I just had to double back and snap a few shots.
It made me think that I need to go barn hunting a little more often, and oh yes the strawberries were delicious 🙂

As always I thank you for looking 🙂
I enjoyed this serene scene and am happy I am catching up with posts I missed or didn’t have time to comment on, Norm.
I love barns and pastoral settings so this gets a very high rating in my mind! 🙂

I always love a blue door but this barn is so cute too 💕💕 Strawberries are at their best in Finland, I just froze 50 kg for the winter with the help of my mom and FIL 🙌

Thanks Sue. It was worth it. In fact I make go back when there’s better light conditions just to try recomposing to feature that red wheel barrow a little more prominently

great capture. rare blue find. 🙂
there are definitely some great barns around me, but i’m going to have to deal with my social anxiety about asking for permission, since most of them require going onto the property to get a proper shot. one of those facets of what it takes to be a good photographer that have nothing to do with knowing how a camera works. 😉

I wanted to make it a bigger part of one of the shots, for the contrast, but this was the best I could do without trespassing.

I personally think the photo is just right the way it is. The contrast is there but not so much that it takes away from the main picture. Perfect! 🙂

They look like they could be in a children’s storybook. The Barn Family with Mama, Papa and the little red-headed offspring to the side. Great shot, Norm and I love those blue doors.

How ever do you find such wonderful places? I would love to know the story of how the doors became blue. I am glad you gave us three photos. I really loved your close up, and the distance photos to give me a sense of the setting. I didn’t not realize at first that both barns had the blue doors. That makes them even more special.

Thanks Carol. After a while of photographing a specific subject you sort of become attuned to it. I notice interesting doors everywhere I go these days. I just have to remember to bring my camera with me everywhere too 😉
