The Byre

Posted by OpenSpace Images (Wirral, United Kingdom) on 2 September 2010 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Spotted this old byre in the middle of nowhere on our recent trip to the north of Scotland. What I didn't immediately see was the herd of highland cattle behind me approaching rapidly....

Thank you for taking the time to visit my photoblog. All comments are greatly appreciated.

High quality prints of any of my photos are now available to buy on my OpenSpace Images website by visiting the portfolio gallery pages.

this is simply lovely, can almost hear the wind rustling through that grass, lovely perspective and I hope you high-tailed it out of there in time from the cattle.

@Leanne: Thanks Leanne. Yes, as soon as they started to run towards me, I decided it was time to move out of there fast!

Fantastic lighting. Even though you are across the ocean, we have more in common than you'd think. Check out this shot from a few days ago taken in the prairies of Canada.

P.S. Is byre another word for barn?

Very beautiful shot! The fine light and textures over building and grasses beneath the turbulent clouds is great.
