Matt Sutton from Sydney, AustraliaVery good Grant. I love how you have excluded the building this time. It creates an expectancy almost 16 Feb 2009 5:34am GJC from Kyoto, JapanGreat how you build rhythm between the natural and man-made. 16 Feb 2009 6:34am cat from Tel Aviv, IsraelI like how the trees are echoed in the columns of the building that is just in the picture. The tones are beautiful. 16 Feb 2009 10:05am @cat: thanks cat. (your link takes me to your aminus blog, but it hasn't been updated in a while. are you back at your other place?) Polydactyle from CanadaI love the fact that the trees are confused with the columns. 16 Feb 2009 12:47pm Chris Parr from Jefferson City, United StatesGreat shadows and those columns hint at a wonderful old building just out of frame. I like the idea of leaving it to our imagination. 16 Feb 2009 12:55pm dogilicious from Millerstown, PA, United StatesThe long view from Longview. Great scene. 16 Feb 2009 1:10pm Albert from Barcelona, SpainBeautiful image, great composition and treatment, the perspective and frame elected me as perfect, congratulations. 16 Feb 2009 2:32pm @Albert: thanks for looking and commenting albert Robert from Kingsville, CanadaMakes one want to sit for a while and admire the great view. 16 Feb 2009 2:50pm yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, GreeceI like that the trees continuing the columns of the house 16 Feb 2009 5:59pm Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United StatesBuilding imitating nature. Very nice. 16 Feb 2009 8:33pm Bill from Belton, United StatesVery nice Grant!

Nilla from Continent: Europe, SwedenI want to see more of the view to the left....A fine compo, 16 Feb 2009 9:17pm @Nilla: thanks nilla - here's a shot with a bit more of the pergola shallowregret from Kongsberg, Norwaygood to see you get out of the urban areas and into safer ground :-) 16 Feb 2009 10:35pm Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United StatesNice perspective. A terrific long view of Longview. :o) 17 Feb 2009 12:56am Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomA good combination of man-made and natural columns, and a view to the distant farm. 17 Feb 2009 1:49am sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United StatesThose pillars look like they're part of a grand structure. 17 Feb 2009 3:29am @sherri: a pergola overlooking a large pond/small lake. it's crumbling now. bluechameleon from Vancouver, CanadaThis is the perfect setting for a mystery! I really like how the pillars and trees kind of compete with one another. 17 Feb 2009 4:06am daina from New York, United StatesA very inventive composition! One is almost barred from looking past the trees –as if one were in a cage created by them. But then the little dot of the house visually gets one past the encircling trees and one sees once can walk past them. 17 Feb 2009 3:15pm @daina: thanks daina. this is a favorite place for me. lisa v from Gawler, AustraliaI can see why it's called 'Longview'..what a place, that house.it's not the sort of farmhouse you'd ever find here. 19 Feb 2009 9:25pm @lisa v: it's no ordinary farm for here either. it was once had it's own race track with grandstand. it was always more for raising horses than growing crops. it sat nearly empty for decades, and now the original buildings are beings restored and houses are being built around them. @el desdichado: thanks very much |
