Rural Decay

Red Barn Skewed Angle, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

There they sit, waiting to be demolished. An old building can be a very interesting subject when taking pictures. The textures, colors and lines of the structure provide a great chance to be creative in your photography.

This old barn in South Jordan (Utah) is literally days away from being demolished to make way for a freeway off-ramp. In capturing the images of it I found that I was constantly shooting upward to avoid the signs and fencing put in place by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), the owner of the property. I really like the saturated color of the building set against the bright blue sky. Click on the capture to see a larger version, or to see others in the series.
