Golden Morning

Description

This old barn sits in a valley very near to where I live. Although this looks very still and peaceful, this area of the valley is known for it population of rattlesnakes. As a boy I would make money hauling hay from fields in this area. Once, I picked up a bale only to have a rattler greet me from under the hay.

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/10 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 160, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 26.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300S

Very nice effects, Danny. I always associate rattlesnakes with western states. It would definitely be disconcerting to suprise one of them! #1384852

This is a great old barn in spite of the snakes. A fave for me! #9457655
