Happy Spring !

Still feels like winter here. We didn't get the snow though--too cold.


Kent in SD

Looks cold. I wish we'd had a good winter here in CA! I like the mood of the image.

Preston you are welcome to winter anytime ,I am tired of 7 months of shoveling. another 10 cm's today !

I love the muted colors and the composition, Lorna! I've been reading Rob Sheppard and Art Wolfe's new book where they warn to be careful about including signs in a picture because people are drawn to read them and they can be distracting, which can be true if not well thought out, but I have several pictures in which the inclusion of a sign or signs is quite deliberate, and this works very well indeed in your image. Not only does the vertical post provide a foil to the oblong shape of the building, but also the sign very clearly tells us what the building is!

Thanks Nancy, the Maximum 30 also had many hidden meanings to this shoot. Top one being maximum 30 days of winter, max 30 MHWind Gusts, Max -30 c, no more -40 and -50 !! Max 30 cms of snow,cloudy days,icy roads,cabin fever, my patience for winter in general !!
