HIGH NOON in Windsor


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   HIGH NOON in Windsor
HIGH NOON in Windsor
APRIL 2009 FINALIST
Rule of thumb: Don't shoot at high noon!
Think it worked with this one..don't you? lol:)
Windsor, CA is one of the most charming little towns I've seen. Their entire commerce area has had a 'facelift' and everything looks like this...sort of a gingerbread town, so to speak!
I just LOVE this place, which is also the home of one of our favorite BP'ers!

  A sun-drenched beauty, Pat. The intense light brought out the specialness of this view, and you managed to do it with no blown out spots of any sort! Great work.
