Welcome to My World by bluemoon

Welcome to My World

I would love to have mountains, lakes, palm trees, oceans or even a desert to take photos off but unfortunately there aren't any around here. Welcome to my world....endless cornfields and barns on every corner....so here's yet another one! I was trying to figure out what that piece of farm equipment is in the foreground but I haven't a clue, maybe an old plow or wagon??? All I know is it's been sitting in that spot for quite a long time! :)
I love your world. =)

This is a beautiful picture of your world. I love the soft edges. I can see this photo neatly framed with old barn boards and hanging in my home.
February 9th, 2011  
I love it! It has an old, Currier and Ives feel!
February 9th, 2011  
I love the country, and the more open the better. Beautiful
February 9th, 2011  
Absolutely fantastic - it's cause you see this stuff all the time, but for us, it's new and beautiful. I love the different layers of this pic - the interesting piece of equipment in the foreground, the lines of corn stalks, the barns and then the trees and sky. it's fav.

Gorgeous! Love the focus and processing.
February 9th, 2011  
Wow, this looks like a painting! Love it! Faved! :)

Absolutely lovely. I dont think I will ever tire of your barn pics.

Well, I lived in Indiana for 20 years, so it is what it is. I actually got used to it and began to like it. So, now I'm in Ohio. Same thing. Good. Comfort zone. It has its merits. You shoot it well. Keep it up.
February 9th, 2011  
Very beautiful!
February 9th, 2011

This is just beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your lovely world with us!!! I love the rows of dried grasses, the snow everywhere, the red barn, the old farm equipment... Wonderful shot!!!
February 9th, 2011  
it looks like where I live - but you made it look like art!
February 9th, 2011  
Well now I see you live in the middle of a cornfield in Iowa and I am in the middle of a cornfield in Illinois, so it basically IS where I live :)
February 9th, 2011  
Very beautiful.
February 9th, 2011  
Beautiful.
February 9th, 2011  
This is amazing! I love everything about it! The composition, the barn, the snow...it's great! I can never get too tired of barn shots! They are all unique in their own way!
February 9th, 2011  
I love this shot. Don't worry Paula, for those of us who don't live near this kind of thing, your photos are never boring.
February 9th, 2011  
Gorgeous shot Paula. This is your world? It looks romantically rustic. I love the treatment.
February 9th, 2011  
I love the world you live in! I see you have a slight gradient in your country, that's more than I can say. My world is flat and bare... I love the romantic feel in this picture! You live in a great part of the world!
February 9th, 2011  
You do your world exceptionally well, Paula. My world is an urban neighborhood and tall buildings. I love, love seeing your remarkable presentations of the rural side of life.
February 9th, 2011  
YOU capture it so well! another great shot!
February 9th, 2011  
Lovely shot!
February 9th, 2011  
Fabulous shot; great processing. Love your rural pics.
Thanks for your comments on my photos. In answer to your question: yes, we do have sharks to worry about, but we figured that the sea was too rough for them to come in close on that day. Generally hope they'll stay out beyond the first breakers when it's choppy.

this tells such a story, want to know more!
February 9th, 2011

I've uploaded SO many barn pictures lately I was afraid I'd bore everyone to tears. When I took this picture and the one a few days ago I was really getting frustrated by the rut I've fallen into and the fact that it was -13 degrees the morning I took this one, didn't exactly make me happy to be here in Iowa. I would no doubt miss this state if I were to move....I don't do crowds and traffic well so this is probably where I'm meant to be!

I'm actually extremely happy that these old barns seem to touch others too. Many of them are so old and weathered I fear they will soon lose the battle against time and the elements. It will be a sad day when they no longer dot the rural countryside. Thank you again for all the kind comments.
February 10th, 2011  
This picture made me go "Oooo and Ahhhh" Fantastic everything!
February 10th, 2011  
your world looks pretty beautiful to me...I will never tire of barn pictures when they are as well taken as yours!
February 10th, 2011  
Haha, I know what you mean by being afraid of 'boring' people. I've got all these amazing pelican shots and am afraid to put them up because I might become known as the 'pelican lady' or something! You can be the 'barn lady' and I'll stick with pelicans. If they're well taken I don't think anyone will complain, and yours are beauties.
February 10th, 2011  
iowa!! born and raised and still living here!
iowa had many lovely place to photograph--beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!
especially old barns and corn fields!
February 10th, 2011  
And i was just thinking i'd love to have what you have with all this wide open, gorgeous countryside. The grass is always greener (or the snow is always whiter ) I guess! I love this photo.
