I often drive by these sheds when travelling north from between Oamaru and Timaru. I cannot remember their exact location, but it is somewhere near St Andrews in South Canterbury.
I have seen these old sheds swallowed up by the vivid yellows of rapeseed crops and the stark dryness of the post-harvest ravage. They are iconic - representing an era of industrious hard work by local farmers, at a time when the land was managed by hand without the advantages of modern machinery.
On the day I took this image, the mist sat heavily suspended all the way from north of Timaru right through to Oamaru. It made for an eery, envelopling atmosphere which created an ideal back-drop to capture these two old beauties.
