Skeleton of an Old Barn

I took this shot with my Canon Rebel XS looking into my friends’ old barn from the front door. I liked the skeleton structure. I have so many memories of this place that belongs to a family that I “adopted” shortly after my arrival in this province thirty (Yes, thirty!) years ago.
