Barn woodwork

Panels above the doors to a barn in the village.

Winter morning snow

Remember the composition in brown from three days ago? Same view, this time with snow.

An air of disrepair

Very much in use though it might look otherwise.

Blue sky, reflected

A barn facade, I think. The shapes and arrangement of the windows caught my eye.

Before and after?

Decay

The barn and the spiderweb. Both succumbing to the march of time.

Onto the next thing

Firewood, maybe. If you're at all curious about the environmental impact of heating with wood, visit the Canada-based woodheat website.

A quote from there:

"Whatever energy source you choose, its use will have an impact on the environment. The best energy sources are renewable and the best of those are solar power and wind power because their environmental impacts tend to be low. As good as they are, though, they do have their problems and limitations. Wood is another renewable energy source with its own problems and limitations, some of which can be managed and minimized, others of which cannot. But when it is used effectively, wood is a fine fuel compared to the fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal, whose consumption leads to global warming. "

Tree

Another area that I photograph often. I think this is an apple tree. Behind the tree is the parking area for some of the nice old cars I've written about over the course of this blog.

Gedeckte Holzbrücke

A covered wooden bridge over the river Limmat in Baden, built in 1810. There were at least five forerunners to this version, before which there was a ferry. To me, there's something Far Eastern about the design, particularly the windows and their shutters. Another thing to note are the little balcony or window "gardens" on the green building. Especially the middle window on the second row from the top.

The Baden Historical Museum that I've mentioned in a couple of posts is to the right of the bridge. Here's a link to a Google map showing the bridge and surroundings. I was on the right bank looking over to the left when I took this photo. Keep in mind that there's quite a change in elevation over the region around the river and some features I would have expected to be able to see are hidden.

Wood

My originally planned photo for today isn't ready yet, so here's another plant-themed photo afterall. This pile of logs sits next to a barn on Hauptstrasse.

Wildflower: Ribwort plantain

Plantago lanceolata (Spitz-Wegerich) or something similar. Tea made from the plant is supposed to be a good cough remedy. The butterfly might be a holly blue (Celastrina argiolus).
