Simple Rural Life
It's amazing how many scenes like this are around my neck of the woods this time of the year. It really makes me appreciate the beauty of a simple morning drive in the country.
I think it was the unique color of the roofs on the farmstead buildings that really caught my attention here.

A common and oft under appreciated rural scene Brad. You've captured an early morning midwestern moment very nicely. I like how the long shadow broke up the mid-frame in this shot. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice image. I especially like your composition and the lighting is perfect.

well done, Brad, with good light and clouds to add to the scene

Hey Brad. Great job on this one. I like the less orderly arrangement of the hay bales, and they establish a sense of depth to the scene.
