Steve, the porch area reminded me of a shark cage. Do you have man-eating beasties about there in Minnesota?
I like the fall colors in the forefront and in the background. It does look like a great place to rest and allow the mind to roam (and to keep a watchful eye for those beasties!).
A very beautiful composition and the lightning is marvellous! You have a stunning galery, Steve, I deeply enjoy almost your entire work! Super congratulations for you gorgeous gallery! Have a very nice week!
