Just a Memory [168978 Animals]
Uploaded: September 08, 2007 05:58:51
This is a shot I took in 2005. This was taken on a local farm in Smyrna, TN. The farm has been sold and is no longer there. New development in the area has destroyed the beauty that was once there. At this time, the farm is used for parking excavating equipment. This shot is now just a memory.
This is a repost without the buzz effect. I added a little blur to the background.

Beautiful image with great effects..we're having the same problem here..all the beautiful pastures have disappeared. #733365Sam Britt September 08, 2007
Beautifully captured horse, great color, lighting & effects. #4763439Susan M. Hembree September 08, 2007
Very beautiful, Cheryl. I love the details in the horse and the lovely saturation in colors. It is indeed sad how things are changing so rapidly. The area I live in, people tell me, 10 years ago was mainly farmlands. Now it's all about shopping. I guess the priority has gone from running in the fields to running down the ailses with a credit card. Sigh. #4763453Nikki McDonald September 08, 2007
Beautifully composed, Cheryl, and the light and effects are perfect. I love the tiny yellow flowers in the foreground and the bluish color of the tub. Don't even get me started on the most recent large shopping mall in our town! #4763487Michelle L. Frick September 08, 2007
Beautiful image Cheryl! This is happening a ton in my area, and I miss the horses - they are so much more fun to look at than buildings! #4763519Cheryl E. Davis September 08, 2007
Thank you, Cyn, Sam, Susan and Nikki for your nice comments.Cheryl E. Davis September 08, 2007
Thanks, Michelle, for your nice comment. I guess it is a common thing in a lot of areas. Seems it is happening everywhere. The area is just growing so fast. #4763527Allison Gaulin September 08, 2007
