I think I know someone who will be so happy when all that snow is finally gone, but just think how much it has nourished the earth and soon you will have flowers and blossoms galore. Great picture Lorraine.

I love the sepia in this shot Lorraine, it adds a gentle touch to the harsh weather your having. I love the old building standing firm against the elements. A wonderful shot.

Observing from Chester, United Kingdom

I especially like the slight tone that's been applied, this adds to the cold look of the scene. I was looking last night at a webcam in Canada, snow was falling there. Harsh Winter indeed.

14 Apr 2008 5:24am

@Observing: Hey Mike, isn't it amazing? I love snow, I wouldn't trade Canada's four seasons for anything, but this winter, gosh it's been harsh, thanks so much :)

GJC from Kyoto, Japan

After yesterday's bright colors, we're back to more somber tones. Well, at least it's a lovely old barn, though it looks as tired of winter as you must be.

14 Apr 2008 6:46am

@GJC: You've got it right on the button GJC, but it's melting now, yay! Thanks always :)

MJ from Delaware, United States

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

Oh, excellent in the sepia!!! Very turn of the century. Btw... we've got a spring snow thing happening here today... hard to believe it was +23 yesterday!!

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada

Beautiful processing. I really like old buildings and the composition. Maybe clone the car out of the bottom.
We inally have spring weather here. The snow is disappearing quickly.

14 Apr 2008 10:57am

@Michael Rawluk: Wow Michael, you have a good eye, I cropped it out some, ..thought it blended well enough in the snow not to be noticed, tsk, tsk on me. Thanks a lot :)

yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, Greece

14 Apr 2008 11:29am

@ManuelaR: Thanks so much Manuela and no fear it's almost all gone, yay!!! ;)

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands

I like old barns and if there were more around I would start a collection! Thi one has a window of a shape (the tilted square) that we see here too in old barns, I just shot one last week, I 'll post it next week. This barn and also others have something sad, being abandoned and not being taken care of anymore, but they keep their dignity one way or another.

14 Apr 2008 3:01pm

@Illuci: Beautifully said Erik and I'll look forward to seeing yours :)

standley from brou-sur-chantereine, France

C'est vraiment magnifique. Bravo pour le choix des tons sépia!

14 Apr 2008 3:25pm

@standley: Merci beaucoup Richard :)

Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom

I love the barn and the mono tones in this one Lorraine!

14 Apr 2008 4:36pm

@Ian Bramham: Thanks so much Ian, it's a pleasure to see you here :)

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia

You certainly do convey the harshness of it here, Lorraine. Good composition and nice tones in this photo.

14 Apr 2008 5:30pm

@Andrew Gould: Thanks for the lovely compliment Andrew, I appreciate it :)

tyan from Singapore, Singapore

the sepia really worked great here,and aptly suits your title,or the other way round.The 'hard-metal' look of the roof does give the house a cold feel.I cant wait to see spring over your side!:)

14 Apr 2008 9:04pm

@tyan: Nice comment sweetie and funny the roof really impacted too, thanks a lot ;)
