Very good Grant. I love how you have excluded the building this time. It creates an expectancy almost

I like how the trees are echoed in the columns of the building that is just in the picture. The tones are beautiful.

I love the fact that the trees are confused with the columns.

Great shadows and those columns hint at a wonderful old building just out of frame. I like the idea of leaving it to our imagination.

I want to see more of the view to the left....A fine compo,
it is as if the trees would also be columns.

A good combination of man-made and natural columns, and a view to the distant farm.

Those pillars look like they're part of a grand structure.

@sherri: a pergola overlooking a large pond/small lake. it's crumbling now.

This is the perfect setting for a mystery! I really like how the pillars and trees kind of compete with one another.

A 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.

@daina: thanks daina. this is a favorite place for me.
lisa v from Gawler, Australia
I 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
