I have to say that months ago I had found this farm and Jenne Farm in one of my many, many searches for Vermont. And what to photography while we were visiting. It sure helped to have the challenge announced the week before....wink

The day was very, very windy and overcast. Which made the lighting on this near to perfect. I have have since found out that Steven Tyler used to own this property (not sure if he still does).

I had a fantastic week vawendy flew in to meet us...then Bear_Music, PennyClick and her sister joined us. They all helped me with this. A HUGE thank you to all of them. I can not believe that it's at 7.97...I think I have watched each and every vote come in (well, almost).

Later in the week Hot_Pixel and Denise joined us... cryanjoined us when Bear and PennyClick was there.

It was the most freaking fabulous week of vacation...I learned quite a bit from each and everyone. It was funny to have all our computers lined up and talking about this software and that application...just fabulous. I'm really close Bear_Music to purchasing the PS CS/6...really, really close...

I LOVE DPC...Thank you so very much for your votes and for being the very best friends....

An old one, but so worth revisiting. I love that the landscape is so similar, but at the same time so different to Britain's. It's the human elements that mark it out - the wooden buildings against our stone, the simple wooden rail against our hedges or stone walls. perfectly composed.

Congrats Janine!

Same place 1 week away from 3 years to the day between shots. It was a similar blustery day with very similar light.

By the way, I believe it's actually Joe Perry, guitarist for Aerosmith, that owns or owned the property.

Oh my... now this is a very nice image and reminiscent of what one would expect to see in the New England States.

A stunning image that makes my entry pale by comparison and I fully expect to see this on the front page at the end of the voting process.

Very nicely done.
