I have driven past this old wooden ruin many times, and finally stopped to look at it more closely. It was well worth the time; what a wonderful assortment of shapes and textures! Although it may stand for a few more years, collapse and total decay seem inevitable.
A midday shot in bright sun... this is something I don't do often... but it can work. The washed out sky is unusual for Saskatchewan; however, we were returning from points north and beginning to encounter a little smoke from forest fires in the western states. This created a very pale blue sky that would not work well for typical nature landscapes, but effectively holds the viewer's attention on the building.
This could be a good one to convert to black and white; I may get around to experimenting with it or other shots from this location.
