Aside from the contrast between the whiteness of the flower, it is also the contrast between the dirt and debris on the leaves compared to the pristine whiteness of the flowers. All-in-all, probebly one of my best photos.
this one caught my eye...it is very surprising and the B&W works very well. It sort of forces the viewer to look at the flower in a complete different way...challenging....gone all the fancy stuff,what has left is what really matters.
Yes!. The woman came home just as we drove up. She took us inside and they talked all about the changes.... things that were there when Mom owned it, what had been torn down.... It was lovely. I didn't take pictures inside because I didn't think it would be polite and it was fery much different inside from when I was a toddler. The green siding on the outside wasn't there when Mom owned it. It was just white wood, then. I will post a link in your guestbook to the video of us finding it. You can "meet" my Mom!
It is Goldenrod. It isn't used for anything. The field is lying fallow. Perhaps they will turn it to corn one day. Actually, I think that there might be a honey farm to the right of the photo. I seem to remember there being a sign for something like that. Perhpas that;s where the bees go.
is this a field with Solidago??? I think in English it is called Goldenrod??? what do you use it for? I have it in my garden....looks very much the same...
that must be pretty old then, I cannot see our youngsters using something like that...but it has its charms...especially when it is not too cold or wet outside!
