I don’t live in a big city. Heck, our country is less populated than a suburb in one of the world’s major cities, so in comparison our life is relatively laid back. Life on a farm in France, however, is infinitely more laid back than anything we can even dream of on an overpopulated island.
I don’t think that I would manage to live my whole life in a place such as the one depicted in the photo above, however I wish I had more time to spend in the total peace and quiet I experienced while out shooting these pictures.
This barn was actually the last part in a small compound of buildings, but every time I tried shooting the scene from up close with a wider angle I felt I was losing the dreary feeling of loneliness. The sky was bleak on the day, but I didn’t feel it needed too much boosting in post-production because it just adds to the sense of emptiness.
