First snow First light

[tbob]

Dawn the morning after our first snow of the year. Unfortunately with the forecast temperatures for the next two weeks this will be here until at least mid April. Last Sunday it was 12C. Today it struggled to reach 2C and overnight it was minus 11C. Ah well, had to happen eventually.

Oh, good grief. Northern hemisphere winter! We won't get any for until the end of the year or into the New Year (in fact we got none below about 750 feet last year, which was unheard of).

Just how many old barns are there around about you!?

[IzzieK]

I was just about to ask the same thing, Donald... I think Trevor just have an obsession with barns bar nothing else...

Anyway...I like #1 reason being you've capture the bluish atmosphere of the place quite nicely...The sky is an added bonus. I think it is a little too blue though...

I think there should be preservation orders slapped on all these, such magnificent buildings.

It's No 1 for me Trevor such a good atmosphere captured.

[Shadowman]

Nice capture, the meteorologist (guesstimator) is predicting snow this weekend.

Very nice, Trevor, I especially like the way you've captured the light in number 1

Does this mean your Internet has been healed?

Ooh good, we will be seeing a lot of snow photos of yours then I remember your uploaded images last winter they were gorgeous. So, I'm looking forward to seeing some more of them.

I loved the light, composition and colors in #1.

I did a rough count on my fingers; within forty minutes drive there are fourteen. If I expand that out to two hours probably a hundred? When this area was settled every square mile had a homestead and most had barns. In fact it was often the first large structure built as it was needed to house the vital horses, tack and hay. The house was frequently just a two room wooden or log shack. Just a place to cook and sleep in.

I do not have an obsession with barns to the exclusion of anything else. If I search hard enough I may be able to find a picture of a flower somewhere. Or maybe not.

Unfortunately time, weather and human beings are conspiring to remove many. In the last two years four of the local ones have been burnt. The remainder are getting very rotten.

Seems good for the last three days; been fooled before though.

Snow it is. As if i have a choice!

I like them both. The frosty temperature is evident in them. The barn to the left in #2 looks to have had better days.

[Mike Buckley]

The first one is quite special! Better you than me in those cold, pre-sunrise temperatures.

Both images have their merits Trevor well done I like the low POV in the first image.

I like the low POV in the first image.

Low is right. I am literally in a hole. I am standing inside a water dugout, on tip toes. If I was one foot further back I would be about one foot below ground level. Even with the wide angle I had to be in this precarious position to get all the barn on the left in the frame.
