Root cellar, protection from tornados or foes. Many different uses. I've seen quite a few in Sweden, shaped in many various ways. This one is very well constructed with fitted stones, suggesting more than just food storage. Considering how cramped these usually are, and the extremely contrasting lighting, this is a very well made photo. Keep up the good work! :-)

Ah yes, I recall this place. It was and is all about light and shadows. And being that this is in an 1880s house in Kansas, I am sure this was first a root cellar but secondly a tornado shelter. This photo speaks to strength and coolness to me. Well done:)

A miraculous photo! So full of detail, and yet with unknowns in the shadows, the stuff of nightmares for a phototropic person like me. Superb!

Interesting!... never seen one before.. great shot with the amount light in there...

Great study of light & shadow. There seems to be a spirit hidden in the back wall - odd grayish-green shapes emerging out of the pink. While it's perfect exactly as it is, I would be unable to resist seeing this as a stage set, waiting to be populated by actors from my imagination...

I can just imagine keeping potatoes in there. Probably very cool.

I wonder what's in the jars? My imagination runs wild when I see something I don't know what's inside.

Magnificent light and texture - one can almost smell the musty, cool air in this cellar. A wonderful shot, Tara!

You've always handled light in dark with mastery, and this is another example. (And it's on your old T3i too!) It tells us of the room almost by absence as well as by presence, and the light is just enough to sketch out all that we don't see. With Andrea, there are dreams here. And you gave us the pots just light-enough to suggest life down there; and the openings on the top are hidden but visible all the same, and shedding light. A shot of deep cavernous dark and beautiful subdued light. Sterling work with a tough subject, and dank, deep and feeling very protective. You really do light and shadow beautifully. Very powerful.

A wonderful study in light, shadow and texture. Looks like it would make a good dungeon as well.

A feeling of great secrecy; a hidey-hole for any number of things, including potatoes and home brew...wonderful atmospheric capture!

Oh yes, the light; with you, it's always about the light and wow, you do it SO well. I also love the crocks on the floor; I wonder what was in them?

I believe this came from one of the barns.

It's actually in the basement of the main house.
