Stormy Weather

I refer this one Chuck, like the colour and moody sky. Nice work.

Glad you like this one. I always appreciate your visits and comments too. This house was far from the road. My dog kept stepping in cacti on the way there too, but she is good at removing the spines from her feet, thank goodness. I had never seen this house before, even with all of my wandering around in that area, so even though it was overcast with no prospects of "good" light, I stopped and took a few shots.

This is gorgeous; I just can't stop looking at it.  Such wonderful details and textures and subject matter.  I especially like the sense of scale that makes the buildings look almost like toys, and the subtle differences in lighting that lead my eye back and forth and through the scene.  My favorite aspect, though, is the color, with those grey-blues and soft yellows that make up both earth and sky, enhanced even more by the muted olive greens.  You've managed to create an image that is natural and realistic but also somehow very painterly.  This is one of the most enjoyable images I've seen in a very long time.  I hope you have this printed large and hanging on a wall somewhere.
