@Paco Díaz: Gracias.
Mathilde Collot from Fontainebleau, France
Delighted to find your pictures also! I particularly like this series of N / B with these buildings see very old! it seems that this light that frames the image prevents the building to disintegrate! it's magic to watch!

@Mathilde Collot: Merci, dear Mathilde. As I approach 74 later this month, I feel a special connection with old, dilapidated buildings and corrals; they especially help me to realize that there is a special kind of beauty in old age.
@PATRICK: Merci.
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Where abouts in Oregon is this. I guess I could just google Sumpter. We travelled down the Oregon Coast two Autumns ago and the scenery is beyond beautiful. This is another wonderful shot in your b&w processing.

@Marion: I've written four responses, and each time they have gotten lost in cyberspace. We've been near Fossil, Oregon, (please Google it; I'm worn out). The Sumpter part itself doesn't begin until November 16. Sumpter is north of Baker City in the foothills of the Elkhorn Mountains (again, please Google it).

@MARIANA: Merci. I, too, am partial to the antique effect for these kinds of shots.
don from spokane, United States
The has-seen-better-days corral makes a fine subject. I like your processing which produced light grasses and nice highlights on the trees. The wide range of tones shows excellent shooting and processing!

@don: Thanks, Don. I love this kind of subject matter.

Macrobaby from Vancouver, Canada
Thank you for your bit of info regarding LR-2. I went to a workshop last night on organizing and setting up the library. I will likely upgrade to LR-3.
Now as for today's post, again, beautiful collection. I really love how you have presented this image with the border.
8 Nov 2009 4:41pm
@Macrobaby: Buying LR2 when you did, you might be able to upgrade to LR 3 for free when it becomes operational. In any case, the beta version is free for everyone now. I like it so much that I will pay whatever it costs. Thanks for your comment on my photograph.
@Irene: Merci.
@willow: Yes, a great old place.
@Ana Lúcia: Thank you.
@B.Held: Thank you.

it's hard to tame wilderness
with wooden fencing.
nicely done.

@B. Thomas: Thanks, Barb.
Stephane Themeze from Maryland, United States
Looks like everything is still standing. like the parallel with the pine trees. Nature looks on another kind of nature.
