Dark Clouds Coming

I can't speak for all photographers, but for me there's nothing as exciting as fabulous light.The trick is when you see it (and you have your camera with you) you have to find SOMEthing to put in it! Onto unfamiliar country roads I went searching for that perfect focal point. In this case, a red barn in a golden field filled the bill.

Something a little different from my usual autumn pieces … less colorful, less brilliant … a bit more moody and contemplative. To see where my head was really "at" when I created this one, click into the links below to read the descriptions .. or not and enjoy it your way! 😁
