This is a curve in the fence at the entry to Run and Jump Farms. This horse farm is beautiful. The manager allowed me to take photos all over the property. This is the first.....

  Thank you, ladies.
It was a very bright and beautiful afternoon.
The snow had beeen windblown and partially melted to produce an icy surface.
The shadows really looked good.

  Awesome Bill! Sounds like you had a great time at that place. I know of a fence like that on a farm a ways from me, but haven't made it over there when the conditions are right. Looking forward to your others!

  This scene was just so beautiful, I couldn't pass it up.
The snow was glazed and produced a nice sheen and perfect shadows.
Thanks for the very generous comments.
You BP folk are all wonderful people.
