This looks like a house that is meant to look like a barn. I love it. The colors are so bright and cheerful, especially against the white snow. It probably is a barn that looks a bit like a house. No look how confused I am. :>))

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France

Jolis contrastes de couleurs, la bâtisse d'un beau rouge profond resplendit sur le bleu du ciel et le blanc de la neige.

@Evelyne Dubos: Merci beaucoup Evelyne ;)

Dimitrios from ATHENS, Greece

On dirait ces maisons Lego avec lesquelles j'aimais jouer, enfant... Mais pourquoi Nostalgia ? Je la trouve souriante et douce, cette photo en rouge et blanc (tes couleurs !)

Barbara from Florida, United States

I love this image, although I agree with Dimitrios, a litte more left area for the frame. Still it is a superb image of color and snow. It looks more livable like a home with the nice windows and doors. I must say I love the place.
Excellent capture here Lorraine.

19 Dec 2008 2:31pm

@Barbara: Thank you my dear Barb, In the best of world it would have been great to have more to the left, but I had to sacrifice a bit there thanks to an ugly new truck in the way, sigh...

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom

So enchanting how the snow and the reflected light enable us to see even familiar buildings so differently . . .

19 Dec 2008 2:33pm

@Ronnie 2¢: thanks a lot Ronnie, I appreciate it :)

dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa

19 Dec 2008 2:49pm

@dobbino: thanks for the lovely compliment Rob, I appreciate it :)

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

WONDERFUL image, Lorraine, and I like the left set of the home/barn. I like seeing off into the distance and the trees behind. I didn't even notice the tiny bit of roof clipped off until reading others' comments.
I could move into this in a minute ... even WITH the snow! :D

19 Dec 2008 3:15pm

@Judy: ME TOO, we'd be roomies lol like I told my two previous visitors, had to do it, ugly new truck in the way to the left lol merci m'dear :)

@Richard_Irwin: Ditto :) thanks very much Richard !

Pixim from Nice, France

Très belle maison imposante de couleur,..., rouge. Est-ce commun ? le cadrage est sympa, un peu bord cadre, mais toujours est-il que cette maison doit être attirante dans ce paysage lavé de ces couleurs ;)

19 Dec 2008 5:49pm

@Pixim: C'est très beau, et je ne sais toujours pas ce qu'elle représente cette maisonm Merci Eric :)

Janice Thomson from Canada

Beautiful clear shot Lorraine. Love the windows in this! Is it a house or maybe a community hall? Lovely building and you gotta love that striking colour!

que c'est beau cette belle maison d'un brun carminéplantée au milieu de la neige, les quelques arbres au fond donne la profondeur

19 Dec 2008 10:12pm

@kerfendal: Merci beaucoup Max, tu es très gentil :)

Bookfool from Mississippi, United States

Stunning, Rainy! I love the bright red, the blue sky, all that contrast. So jealous of the snow. 74 degrees fahrenheit and muggy, here. I was tempted to turn on the air conditioner, after we took a walk.

19 Dec 2008 11:01pm

@Bookfool: Hey Book, right now, this very second as I type this with my frozen fingers, I envy you lol thanks sweetie ;)
