Description
I took this photo in the late 1970s along Vermont Route 100, and finally Al Gore invented the Internet, and somebody else invented scanners, and to top that, someone invented software so I could alter the look of this photo and post it here, a 35-year+ journey.

Are you familiar with a painter named Wolf Kahn? His work often features amplified colors like this. If you run this through the "cutout" filter in Photoshop it really looks like a Wolf Kahn painting! (8 levels needed) You describe an interesting chain of events that culminate in the viewer seeing this. What are the odds... And yet, here I am seeing this Vermont barn as it looked decades ago on a summer day. I wonder if that barn is still standing.
Don Struke replied:
In fact the Thomas Segal Gallery (I just discovered after your comment) here in Baltimore has a number of Kahn's paintings, including "Red Barn in Walpole", and I see what you mean. This photo probably would work well as a model for a painting. I should mention the only altering tool I have is good ol' MS Paint, and thus this ancient barn has snuck into the digital age, so to say. I too have wondered if it made it into this century. I have some other similar images on FAA including a mid-19th Century mill my mother's family owned. What are the odds indeed of any of these noble (more or less) structures surviving?
