Old Barn Against an Autumn Hill

Photo of the Day 305/366

This photo is, in reality, very old - in today's terms. It was taken by my father, in my teen years, on film. The image is likely 45-50 years old and I know it's from northern Pennsylvania (where I grew up). My father may not have been the best person, but he did many things for me, including introducing me to photography with images like this. After his passing, I scanned in and edited a large number of his images, this was one of them - his vision still holds strong today.

Front View of Fallingwater

Images Exposed Daily Photo Challenge

Thursday Architecture: We took a long weekend trip to see a number of Frank Lloyd-Wright homes in western Pennsylvania recently. We had seen Fallingwater before, but only from the outside and without a guide. This time we got a tour and saw the inside, as well (more photos, probably, later). Fallingwater is a wonderful example of Lloyd-Wright's ideas - in many cases, not very "livable" but good ideas, nonetheless.

Red Tinged Clouds over the Trees Photo of the Day 345/366 I took the photo last week on the way home. It was a wonderful sunset sky and I couldn't pass up taking a number of shots while it was available. These clouds with the red edges from the setting sun were a wonderful sight over these trees just behind the rolling field in the foreground. A nice evening sky for sure.

    Photo of the Day 307/365  Autumn Colors on Display by the Creek This photo was taken last weekend on our mini-vacation. We were on our way home and happened to find a pull-off - in the rain - and I took some photos by this creek. The colors just seemed to pop in the damp drizzly weather but the camera couldn't quite capture the bright colors. I didn't want to over-edit it but this is close to what I experienced that moment.

Tracks into the Sunset Photo of the Day 342/366 This photo was taken last evening on the way home from work. I took a number of photos and could not quite get the sun peeking through  the clouds. This is the closest I got. I love the colors in the sky and the reflections in the railroad tracks. I've taken this scene before, but it always makes me think of life moving on and on, rolling into the sunset of life - as I get older, those thoughts become more frequent.
