An old barn. But then again, there are no new barns.

So,  I am out walking around with my camera a few weeks ago, and stumble across this old barn with an old truck in it.  I take a few pics, then I go about my way.  As I was walking around, I kept thinking about this barn, and the truck inside of it.

I am thinking about how do I take these 2 pictures and make them look old and antique?  Of course, you could just do a black and white, throw some noise and dust scratches on it, and that would probably do the trick.  Then I went way back (like 1980’s way back) when I was a printer, and we used sepia paper.  That was it, I would make it look like it was on sepia paper.  Here are the results;

Then I started thinking, maybe give the barn a little grunge look and scratches.   How would that look?
