Vangone - More nice pics. :thumbsup:

I like the barn shots the best. If it were me I'd try to get a shot of the red barn with a similar perspective but without the utility pole and lines, not sure if it would be possible. Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bob. Last winter was a rough one and so is this one. Last winters snow brought record floods to my town. 5200 homes under water and 25000 people effected. Waterloo was also hit very hard

I would have liked to not have those wires and pole be there,but it wasn't possible. I just thought it was a neat old barn and took a picture to use in a painting someday. If you like old barns,here's one from an old painting I did a few years ago.
