Kathy and Debra, Thank you so much for the wondeful compiments on my photo! This day was so beautiful, everything had frost on it so my daughter and I went driving around so I could take some pictures. This shot was actually her idea....so we backed up and I ran down into the ditch and started shooting! Thanks again! :-) #5282438

I live in NW North Dakota...I think I live in a beautiful area but so many people hear 'North Dakota' and think of nothing but cold. I guess I am like you, I see the beauty in things so many people do not see! #5283940

Songbird Cline level-classic January 02, 2008

Yes, I can relate to your photos! You do see beauty in the ordinary.. You need to do an art show.. You have so many beautiful photos! AND I need to come to North Dakota with my camera! Im impressed.. I love windmills too!! #5283960

I really enjoyed your Gallery and I think this is an outstanding Rural Winter Scene and capture full of color and tones as well as geometric design elements.
Well done Veronica. #5297326

Beautifully done! Love the composition with the road curving. The lighting is great with the background darker, creates a bit of mystery. Love it :-) #5301859

Veronica S. McGinnity January 06, 2008

Thank you Susan, the road curves into what is called White Earth Valley and it was foggy down there but the sun was starting to peek through up on top where my daughter and I were at. I have been on that road 100's of times and never before seen it so pretty! I was at the right place at the right time I guess! Plus my daughter was driving and said I should take a picture! :-) Thanks again. #5302213

Nikki McDonald level-classic February 21, 2008

Did you re-submit this glorious photo, Veronica? Certainly hope so! It is almost 3-D with those trees on the left standing in such sharp relief against the background. Love the warmer tones and sweep of the road, too. Beautiful.
Congratulations on the EP--that's where I saw this. #5528340

Veronica S. McGinnity February 21, 2008
