Winter (3 images)

I:m itching to get out and take photos but the cloudy, dull weather this week -- ugh -- I need sunshine. Anyway, these were taken within the last couple of weeks. All taken with the 5D and 17-40L.

Nice work! Got give that new camera a workout!

Hah, can't give it enough of a workout in this weather. I've got a lot to learn with the new camera. The only time the sun came out here this week was during the 30 minutes I was standing in line at the post office -- to mail the 40D to its new owner.

Nice shots Cheryl. I really like the first. I'm a sucker for old barns.

I really like the 2nd image!

It may be my monitor,but for some reason these look OOF or not sharp on the finer details like the wording on the church door??

I will have to check my monitor.

I keep going back to the 2nd one. There is just something I like about an old country church.

I love that old church -- it's near Rice Lake State Park and it's hard to believe that the area was once a very busy village with stores, doctors office and even photography galleries.

The church is privately owned but a group of people interested in preserving it got together this summer and did some work to ensure it'll be around for a while longer.

This was a few months ago:

I also love that whoever does own it, goes along and puts something on the church doors for holidays -- flags and wreaths for July 4 -- and this one for Christmas and New Year

Cheryl,

I love them all. I am a sucker for old barns also. I like the church shot the best. I like the aspect of the church against the background. It is a real winner in my book.
