#4 in the series of the "Same Old Barn," this time a winter scene. Due to the change in colors, this was probably the hardest of them all to do but once the idea came to me, I had to try it out! It's not really quite the time for this although it's coming soon enough... have a great day and happy shooting!

  Okay I will give you the fact that this is fantastic and very beautiful. But it is 70 degrees outside and I don't want to think about snow! LoL I don't like snow, no I like southern snow here today gone tomorrow! Northern snow is here today then salt and sand then here for the next few weeks or months. Terrific job, looks like a winner to me, Nadya!

  Fantastic work. Beautiful image. I love snow scenes, but don't like real snow. It rarely snows where I live, but when it does we panic, and don't drive in it, so we end up going stir-crazy if it sticks for more than a day!
