This shot was one of the favorites of some of my friends and I removed it during a gallery reorganization. I thought since it was in the permanent gallery it would remain there, but alas I was wrong. It was my entry in the Rustic contest.

My wife and I were driving around the gravel roads when this scene came out of nowhere. In hindsight I would have waited for the buggy to progress a little further into the scene. I was approaching the road they were on and didn't want to invade their space. I cropped some off the right side and perhaps it was a mistake. Tomorrow I will post another version.

Wonderful shot, Tick, it's really peaceful place. The sky and the field are so beautiful. I love the carriage.

This one must have been before my time here. I love it Tick. The colors and detail is great even in the low light.

Well composed countryside image Tick. The bright green in front and that sky together with the rest make this a wonderful image.

TicK....The last time you posted this, I tried to nominate it to the AC, but the AC box wasn't there. This time I tried to nominate it and I received an "internal error". The 2nd time I tried to nominate it, I got a message that it's already been nominated. I could read the 200 comments above mine to see if the culprit admitted to the nomination, but I'm feeling mentally lazy and/or exhausted. The shot was one of my favorites back then and is a fave again today.

P.S. I wonder what kind of carbon footprint these guys are leaving.

Glad to see it again pal..always a favourite of mine too!...

If you still have the original...perhaps you can cut some off the 'left hand' side to pull it in closer!..The hdr/contrasting treatment works well too!....It's got to go back into the perms

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Love this effect. Looks like a painting. Peacefully intense, if that makes any sense.
