Indiana

Well, no guesses yesterday, so I'll just give it away...I was in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan last week.  All my photos are from Indiana.  I was there helping some family members move, but tried to find a little time each day to head out with my camera.  This farm is on a back road that I take to the beach.  I  like to imagine myself living somewhere like this, but I'm sure I would never want to maintain it.  As I've mentioned before though, I do love a red barn.  This one looks very "Indiana" to me.  As we were driving through rural Illinois I was drawn to all the white barns.  Especially with the white sky and ground.  I wish I would have had time to do some photography there too, because I really wanted capture one of those white "Illinois" barns as well.  Maybe next time.  Obviously there was some snow falling when I took this picture.  I was wondering if anyone minds that big snowflake in front of the barn entrance.  To post a comment you just click on the "comments" tab below the photo.  I know I'm getting a lot of hits each day, so don't be afraid to leave a comment!

Melissa, this is a gorgeous winter scene with the scarlet (more powerful than simple red) accents. The composition is balanced and full of detail. There is something compelling about your winter photos as we do not ever (almost, ever) see snow where I live.

Love the photo from yesterday with the converging lines of trees in the snow.

Bises,
Genie

What is it about barns that touches a chord in our hearts? I don't really know, but I know that I like your photo today quite a bit--a red bard, a silo, and another red building. Cool!
