brrrrr... but very nice photos. I especially like the first one - it would make a great painting.

Jo,

Congratulations on being able to get good pictures even in these
conditions. The first one really grabs me -- it looks almost like a
painting.

Hi Francis! Thank you ...this weather seems to induce me to collect this type of shot...need some spring and some green stuff! I really enjoy your Paris...

These are 2 jewels that I like very much.
The monochrome quality, the lonely house against an eerie
background, the feeling of loneliness and abandon... yet some
traces of life with the birds flying away. Quite an atmosphere
...Thanks for these unique images

jo,

Great shots. The first is almost surreal. The second has great form.

Thanks

Hi David...yes that's a lonely old school. Can you imagine trudging along the prairie on foot or your pony just to go to school ? ...Oh yeah...pigeons always move in where people left... Thanks ,glad you enjoyed it.

Yes it almost appears to be B&W doesn't it...but really that WAS the way the day happened...very minimal PS work with these shots. I removed a pwerline and sharpened...Strange days...
Thanks for commenting!

Joann,

You've truly captured two beautiful photos. The old school in the snow is a masterpiece, especially with the pigeons in flight.
The lone tree seems to say something about the survival of nature.

Both photos caught my attention, as I had to keep going back and forth looking at them. You know what they say; the first (10) seconds must catch someone's attention to be a really dynamic picture.

You've done that. Thanks for sharing.

Beagler
