Thursday Doors: Bernard’s Barn
This is the door of the barn that belongs to my neighbour Bernard; it’s about 100 feet from my own front door.
Earlier this year, Bernard replaced the roof of this barn, which was in a very poor condition. As a result we were, for a couple of weeks, inundated by displaced barn spiders about the size of your fist.
Be that as it may, he left the door in its original state. I quite like the sapling growing in front of it, which adds some contrast.

That’s a door with character, one that’s weathered many a storm. Nice to have a new roof. The spiders? Not so much!

I have to agree with every word you say. Especially the bit about the spiders.

Gorgeous photo – love the textures of the stone and worn wood against the new growth of the sapling.
Thank you. I think the sapling definitely adds a bit of a lift to an otherwise necessarily static image.
I photograph primarily architecture, and I especially enjoy when I have a large tree or some other part of the natural landscape to include in my shot.
Beautiful. I love the texture, the worn off whitewash paint, and especially all of the knot holes in the wood – that door is as authentic as they come š
It’s a very old barn and a very old door, but inside it he keeps a vehicle that looks like a cross between a dune buggy and a lunar exploration vehicle. He uses it to go off-road, hunting for mushrooms (don’t even bother asking where exactly).
Fantastic door! The sapling just needs a red bow to be dressed for the season. Not liking the spiders though….
Quite. No arachnophiles here…
