Trees and Cottages...

...but you already knew that!

This is a view of a small part of the old village of Les Forges and this is one of several rows of now abandoned workers' cottages dating from the 18C. The trees are there because I love their skeleton form in Winter.

Bound to be BoB...
I love the ancient crumbling white against the dark woods & sky.

Brings back a bygone era. Too bad they can't be repurposed. I like the pattern in the stonework and the lacy pattern of the tree branches.

Wonderful clouds, trees, textures. Wish there were just a tad more space to left of cottages

@jgpittenger You're right Jane - I cropped out the van that was parked there: I should have edited it out... I did edit out the power-pole in the middle of the image but by then I had already cropped it.

A bare tree always complements an old stone building just wonderfully. FAV!

Great composition!

As always, your b&w treatment is something. Even in less contrasty lighting, the fullness and subtlety of the tones are amazing.

All the texture work really well, and as always, such a strong composition.

You couldn’t design a shot like this! Well done, particularly with your constraints. AA...absolute atmosphere!
