Rural Manitoba

Finally after a long super cold stretch of weather we had some tolerable temps. It was a scorching -10 Celsius the other day and I took full advantage of it. I returned to a familiar spot and found this new location.

It was frigid cold here as well in NS, -16c wind chill...not pleasant tempertures for taking pictures. This image is very nice...nice textures and a very cold winter look to it. Like the angle of shot and the pretty clouds. Nicely done.

Nice. Some perspective correction would improve it.

I like the lean as it is... seems to enhance of the building slowly collapsed back into the surrounding landscape. I do like the contrast between the darkened nature of the derelict building and the blue/white of the cloudy sky. I see a structure such as this and I realize that this is simply not a building or a structure but someone's home... someone who has moved on but their place still lingers in rural Manitoba enduring our cold and snow.

Alone, alone, all alone...

The lean is part of the "why" it works.

Love that one tree that is so close to the wall, it could be coming out of the house.

This gives the phrase "room with a view" a whole new meaning. :)

Very nice! And would also work great on B&W - me thinks...

the blurred inverse overlay is perhaps a tad too obvious, but otherwise nice

Thank you all very much for the comments.

@ Paul Bracey, I think you lost me with your comment. I am not sure what you are referring to?

Sharp and vivid. The lean doesn't bother me. Nice winter photo!

Nice image. I like the contrast of the bright blue sky.
