Rain, Rain, Go Away... by Weezilou

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

On a dreary, gray day, I was unmotivated to look for points of interest beyond my front door, so here's where I stopped. We never open that door on the right, so when I attempted to do so for a picture, I found it would go no further than that. Being an old house, there's one entrance into a foyer, and a couple more steps up to the entry door.

I have Steve Harvey to thank for some aperature information he gave me http://365project.org/harvey/365/2010-07-28. Not in a hurry today, I discovered how I could bring the outside view into sharp focus with good color. I'm still on a learning curve with my camera and appreciate all the help I can get!

Looking forward to a beautiful day again tomorrow, but tonight, as I write, I'm listening to the fog horn in the distance.
beautiful framing and perfectperspective ,louise. i love the stained glass on top of the door frame.

Well, for a dreary day you made a lovely photo!
July 30th, 2010  
wow this door is amazing , great framing ... nice shot
July 30th, 2010  
I agree Louise, the door looks beautiful, and the view is quite nice too. Is that an old church in the near distance?
July 30th, 2010  
This is framed so beautifully and the lighting is perfect! I like that the door on the right is partially closed - I think it really adds to the shot.
July 30th, 2010  
this is so pretty---love how you can see the church through the door
July 30th, 2010  
Rick, yes, that's the United Church across the park from our house. We're on a bit of a hill, and the park slopes down to the church and on down to the waterfront. You get a good walk in around this town!

Love the stained glass over your door.
July 30th, 2010  
Lovely
July 30th, 2010  
Love the glass.
July 30th, 2010  
A lovely photo - we are having a dreary cool day here too.
July 30th, 2010  
Jammed door that makes a nice view. Love the image outside, the trees and the church!
July 30th, 2010  
What a nice view you have!
July 30th, 2010  
So pretty Louise love it
July 30th, 2010  
I really like the framing, i like seeing the floor!
July 30th, 2010  
Hi Louise! Thanks for checking in. I really enjoy all your Lunenburg photos. This shot is great! The one about the postcards from Helsinki is so funny too. I am glad to hear Maia is following you. I am amazed and impressed that you figured out she is my niece. I have another niece on too - she is in that same group photo. She has had computer trouble and has not uploaded for a month. When she gets back on, I'll point her out - if you haven't found her already. :-)

Nice perspective. I love the stained glass and the vista looks really interesting. You must live in an amazing place. I love older houses.
July 30th, 2010  
I love how you framed this shot of your entry way and your view. I don't blame you for not wanting to venture out. A nice relaxing day at home is always a good call!
July 30th, 2010  
I love the liminality and perspective of this shot! It's refreshing! great photo! and thank you for your wonderful comments on my photo. I really appreciate them! :D
July 30th, 2010  
Great shot! Love the stained glass! Great perspective!
July 30th, 2010  
i would just love to tour your house! i love older houses for all their charm and character! and this is a lovely shot! the stained glass above the door must be quite valuable! and what a view you have from your front porch, uh?
July 30th, 2010  
The stained glass window above the door, really caught my eye. I like the photo.
July 30th, 2010  
Everything aboutLunenburg just seems wonderful, like your home & the beautiful view outside your front door, with the distant sounds of foghorns. Still no photos from me, may have to fall back to the phone! : )
July 30th, 2010  
Beautiful shot. I hope the weather gets better soon! But in the mean time, don't you just love learning new things about your camera?!
July 30th, 2010  
Love the frame.
July 30th, 2010  
Great perspective. Looks like you must have set the camera on the floor. I'm guessing you could finish your project without leaving your home!
July 30th, 2010  
great view, rainy days often bring out unexpected and brilliant shots!
July 30th, 2010  
Love that picture and just think, we'd never have seen it if it hadn't been for the rain! And with the rain the dust settles and the plants grow.... Mind you.... it is pouring wet here today and I've lots of driving and lots of visits to do.... not great day for that. We get a bit too much rain!
July 30th, 2010  
Beautiful shot. Love the perspective. Your door is so pretty! Love old houses!
July 30th, 2010  
Lovely door.Always difficult to make it work from inside out.Well done
July 30th, 2010  
I look forward to your posts, nicely captured

Thank you for you kind words on my project
July 30th, 2010  
love your day way and view beyond.( thank you for your lovely comment on my last picture ,you got it just right
July 30th, 2010  
Nice job. I see your shots getting better and better. Probably good that it rained; you need a rest from all your vacationing.
July 30th, 2010  
Absolutely beautiful view from your door! I wish we had some rain, its been so hot for a week now.
July 30th, 2010  
Gorgeous perspective. I love the window above the doors.
July 30th, 2010  
Very cool perspective!
July 30th, 2010  
love the framing here, lovely photo. :)
July 30th, 2010  
Cool shot, Louise!
July 30th, 2010  
Is sunshine already getting rare? Are we heading for fall already? Actually I am not ready. What about you?
In our place it is changing between rain and sunshine several times a day. And the sun has already lost some of its power.
July 30th, 2010  
I love the window above your door.
July 30th, 2010  
I like the composition. And the idea of being in looking out. Love it.
July 30th, 2010  
looks very inviting.
July 30th, 2010  
love the composition , makes a dreary day seem wonderful :o)
July 30th, 2010  
What a treat not only to see this amzing looking door ..love the stain glass on top...but look right through it to see the United Church across the street. good thing in disguise that it wasn't such a nice day, so you had to look for something to post from""""indoors"""" and what better than the front entrance door.
July 30th, 2010  
I love your view. This is also an amazing idea. I never thought of this...but everyone's view from his/her front door is so different and unique. I think that would be interesting to see and compare/contrast. Cool idea! So, being stuck inside wasn't really a bad thing, then.
July 30th, 2010  
I love that we can learn from each other as photographers...such a nice community thing. This photo paid off--it's perfect.
July 30th, 2010  
Great composition!
I really love it! :-)
July 30th, 2010  
How wonderful to open a door and get such a lovely view. You framed this shot to create such interest in the inside and well as the outside. Nice work.
July 30th, 2010  
I want to walk out that door to the world beyond!
July 30th, 2010  
Lovely framing, Louise! It's been ranining on and off here as well... and thundering...and storming. Blue skies tomorrow...? Maybe? Wishing you a wonderful weekend! :-)
July 30th, 2010  
I really like this!
July 31st, 2010

August 1st, 2010  
Love it - the photo, the focus, your front door, the stained glass above it.
August 1st, 2010  
Super cool perspective. Love it
August 1st, 2010

August 2nd, 2010
