Returned a few years ago to the place I have such fond memories of as a child. My Grandmother baking bread and how good it smelled after a hard day in the fields. My Grandfather milking the cows at sunup and all the farm cats waiting for their squirt of cows milk. Getting up at sunup was sure hard on a city boy, but as I remember it, I looked forward to it. Old memories die-hard as do these wonderful old farmhouses. Gone were all of the barns and other out buildings but if you were really still and closed your eyes you could still hear all of the old sounds and feel the air full of those wonderful memories.

Wondeful composition. The house is definitly an interesting house. One thing i might say about this one is it could use a little run through something like neat image to clean up some of the noise in the sky so it is crisp blue like the forground is crisp green.

"A piece of toast with butter always lands butter side down, and a cat always lands on its feet. What happens if a piece of toast is tied butter side down to the back of falling cat? Does it hover above the ground in perpetual indecision?"
A great picture. I love the colours, and how the subject is of--centre. Love the explanation aswell - makes you look at it a different way when you've read that. Nicely done!

Superior composition and choice of lens; as always, your basics are a learning experience.

The latest census indicates that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the population.
Wow what a shot.
You sure let me feel some sadness with this lonely house from the past.
Compostion and colors and sharpness are exeptional good.
But what I like the most is that these kind of images show us forgotten glory.
Wich give me some reflections of my mind.
Thanks for sharing.

Great story of the past. Lovely shot to accompany it. The field seems to stretch on forever. Really peaceful.

Never knowing. Shocking but we're nothing, we're just moments. We're clever but we're clueless, we're just human. Amusing but confusing. We're trying, but where is this all leading? Never Know.

Michael, I have a lot of these houses tucked away in my memory as i was raised in a small rural town. In the summer my Friends and i would help pick up hay, and at dinner they would have the biggest meal it was great. Most of the houses are gone, but i can still walk through their front doors in my memory. Thats why i give this a 10, desktop, favorites, and also because this is a brilliant capture. Thanks. Dwight.

People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
-Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
A simple but very effective image that deserves more than 10.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

A very sad photograph. Looks like the house was once a beauty. It's an excellent capture. This pictures captures the heart and the eye. Wonderful!

After I went down memory lane with you, I took my own trip. ...those were the days. To be young again...ah! Suberb in all aspects. I do agree though that the sky has some unusual graininess to it that I don't normally see in your photo's.....if only that was all that was wrong with mine *sigh*....new desktop for me & thanks Michael...:~)

At first I thought I was looking at something that belonged in the computer gallery. The shot is so perfect... MARVELOUS. Deserves so much more than a 10/10!!

It's beautiful!!! As are the colors.
I'm starting to worry what will happen to my family farm house once my folks sell. This might be one result.

10, desktop, favorites. The color is rich and living and the house is straight and proud. Reminds me so much of Andrew Wyeth's Christina's world viewed in a different season

What a beautiful shot. The grass/field surrounding the house with your narration gives it a surreal quality.

This is so cool. Beautiful lush green grass. I bet that house has some great stories to tell. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely house.
The curves in the hills and grass contrast nicely with the angles of the house. the Sky is a very pretty colour too. :D

Hello Michael...I had a feeling this was yur photo before I even opened it...it reminds me also...of a farm my Dad had in South Dakota...I never lived in it, and when I saw it, it was deserted and we would drive out there now and then just to "be" there...oh the smell of the wheat grasses...the listening to the breeze over the fields..and the tiny birds with their song..its a good thing we all have memories like that to hold close to our hearts. This is a beautiful photo Michael...the colours are SO rich and you have a perfect distance to the house from where you are standing to get the tall grass that leads us right to the house. ITs just lovely !!

Kittens can happen to anyone.
Wow, what a setting! Unbelievable for any Dutch person like me to see a house with such a big garden!
About the composition, would it not have been better not to have the grass closeup in the foreground? From a higher perspective the feeling of that lost house would have been more intense in this case, or did you decide otherwise after have shot several images?

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
Goreous picture. Thanks for the description...when I first saw it, I thought OH NO...Children of the Corn...funny how such a gorgeous place such as this, is used to play on our fears...but the way you described it, I can't imagine it as anything but happy. It is so pretty. Where is this located? The fields are so green and the sky is so blue...perfect image!

Look to the Future, Remeber the Past, but Live in the Present, and Never forget to tell those you love "I Love You", you may not get another chance.
Hello Michael....Good use of content and surroundings to create a pleasing picture.....It always pays to get the right angles on scenes as well as capturing the classic postcard views...Well done...All the best...Mick.

Its as simple as life. Plz take a look at my gallery! :)
I sure would like for you to post a closeup of that structure. To heck with the grass. Your commentary was as good as the photo. Well done. And one more thing and I make this comment for the benifit of all who may see it...never, never begin a title with the word "The". It messess up cataloging.
Great shot.
Great shot.

What a beautiful house this must have been once, although there is still something about it now. Thank you for sharing your memories, nothing like a stroll down memory lane is there. Excellent shot.
