St. Jacob's Pastoral

A fine shot Len. Without your title I would have thought of it as an aerial view of a rural landscape. Beautiful :-)

Best regards.

No intent to deceive.  A credit to the model maker that it appears to be an aerial shot.  Hard to believe that under it all is only a few sheets of plywood.  This guy's good!  (likely a team effort)  Always good to have your visits.  Best, LM.

This and just previous photo remind me of the 45 degree google  satellite maps of which lately I have been using.

Yes, that's a nice feature.  I wish I had the patience and the manual dexterity to create something like this.  One needs to have talent and lot's of spare time.  I only have one of those elements, and when that runs out talent won't do me any good. :-)    Good to have your visit.  Best, LM.

Hi Len

I like your etiquette and pleasantry as I like your photos. My best regards

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  I don't think it pays to take one's self too seriously.  Life's too short.  Gotta have some fun along the way.  More fun if one can share a common interest with other like minds.  Best, LM.

Again Len, I liked the phrases you wrote and deserve to be as a quotations.

I would have never thought it is a model! And still don't believe, the trees in the distance look so real and the depth and perspective are so persuasive! Charming!

Best regards Len!

A testament to the skill of the modelers.  The sky area is simply painted on plywood.  Thanks for taking the time & effort.  Best, LM.

Len, admirable shot of the model. You have effaced the line between reality & creativity.

Good to have your input.  Validates my decision to take this one.  Best, LM.

Wonderful shot. I even like the blur of the moving train. Well done!

From viewing previous shots taken at this location I knew the train would exhibit a bit of motion blur and luckily there is just enough here to do the job.  Keeps things from becoming too static.  Good of you to share your observations.  Best, LM.
