BOSS ROSS? :) Do you seriously paint? That is so cool! I didn't know that about you! Impressive! You should post up some of your work. I would LOVE to see it!

So glad that you stopped by! :)

Samo T, David, Jacques, Sean, and Rafal:

Thank you all so much for visiting yet another old barn in my collection! I can't help but be attracted to these! I know I have posted many, but they just cry out to me, and each one is unique in it's own special way!

Samo, thank you so much for your praise! :) I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, and thank you for visiting today! :)

Jacques, I sure do appreciate your kind words! You always have nice things to say, and don't seem to tire from my pictures of the past. :)

David, I'm very happy that you preferred the Sepia tone in this one as well as in the Gas pump. I just think it brings out the 'oldness' and character from the time period. Thank you so much for your thoughts, and for your visit. :)

Deaer Sean, Your praise never ceases to make me proud. You make it sound so sweet! I AM having a wonderful week, and I hope you are doing the same! :)

Rafal, I can't thank you enough for that special sentence. It carries a lot to me, as I would love to think that something about this shot did stand out as being made by me! :) Thank you very much for those words. :)

You all are so kind, and thank you again very much for stopping by my gallery.

Most sincerely,

Mary Alice

I have read 55 books written by the Great STEPHEN KING, and this old house seems to be a "King's creation"... (BRRRRR!!! :-)))

Mary Alice, you need to blow this up to room size and wrap the room in it - a nice quiet room to go and read and reflect in. I think this is the best of your monochromes for me. A lovely atmosphere and as always, you know when to go monochrome to capture that.

I think you should do a book.... -alicia

Peppe, Joshua. Penelope, and Alicia:

Greetings and thank you all so much for visiting the barn! :)

Peppe, it's wonderful to hear from you. How have you been? I'm so glad that you enjoyed the barn, and thank you so much for your praise. I hope you are doing well! :)

Lone Joshua, Stephen King? Oooooh, I have never read any of his books. I am easily spooked, and don't need to add to it in any way. I don't even watch horror movies. I'm glad that my picture inspired you though, and I'm so happy that you visited. :) Keep that scary stuff to yourself though, okay? ;)

Penelope, My goodness, you seem to have a lot of names. What is that all about? How very fun! Thank you so much for visiting, and for your kind words! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the shot. :)

... and ** Alicia:** What a wonderful thing to say! My goodness, you certainly know how to make a girl feel good! So, I should really wallpaper a room with this? That would be cool, huh? I can see it now! Maybe in a dentist's office or something! Cool! Just kidding! That's NOT a relaxing place at ALL! ;) But seriously, you have this great way of making me feel so good about my shots, and thank you for that. A book of local history? Yes, Yes, I would LOVE to do that. Perhaps I will soon! :)

Thank you again, Alicia! :)

Thank you all for your kindness, and for visiting my gallery.

Great one Mary Alice! It sort of reminds me of the Waltons, the little house on the prairie...Images I grew up with though so far away.

MaryAlice, on May 10, said:

Evgenia Ko:

Thank you so much for visiting my gallery, and for your kind comments. I can see where you would say that this reminds you of "Little House on the Prairie" or the "Waltons!" I agree with you completely! I too grew up with both of these shows, "Little House on the Prairie" being my all time favorite! I would still be delighted to see some re-runs!

Thanks you again for visiting!

Best regards,

Mary Alice

hi Mary so melancholy,but very artistic picture. I like it

Marina.S, on June 27, said:

I like the melancholic atmosphere.

MaryAlice, on June 28, said:

Andreas, Michael D, and Marina,

Thank you all for visiting, and for your kind words on this shot. Although it appears rather gloomy and melancholy here, in full color, it's quite a happy and beautiful place! Because of the mere fact that it has been left all alone and seems to be forgotten, I thought I would present it in monochrome and play up the sad feel. It seems that it worked. :)

I sure do appreciate all of you stopping by and commenting.

Thank you again! :)

Greetings,

Mary Alice
