There is this old farm on the corner of two of the backroads I like to travel. The house and all the outbuildings are abandoned; but a small vegetable garden is being tended. The signs say no trespassing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pull up onto what looks like an overgrown driveway and get out and take a few pictures, does it? I mean, I’m right in plain view and staying in one spot. Anyway, been there a couple of times now, and the morning I shot this, the sun was just coming up over the trees and reflecting in a couple of the windows of the home.

Looks like the house is on fire! And you just stood there, snapping away. Great capture.
Micki, that is truly lovely. Great eye and nice capture.
Saw this one this morning. What a beautiful way to start the day! Great shot!
Excellent shot...I love the look of weather-beaten aged boards. Nice job....as for signs, bahh! I ignore them unless I see a dog or the place is surrounded by razor-wire! ;o)
Love this. The reflections are superb and I get a feeling of that old boarding creakily waking up to another day . .
Hi Micki! While you titled this shot "Morning Reflections", i can't see the reflections that well. And the two windows of different sizes and shapes make the composition look off-balance.
i'd suggest focusing on just the window on the right and allowing it to occupy maybe a third of the frame. It'd still be good to include the wooden panels as sort of a background pattern.
Just my humble opinions. Hope you don't mind. :)
Very nice shot, Micki. I really like the capture of the sun in the windows.
A fine light in this windows. refelction are often very interesting.
And a wonderful reflection it is!
Just love the different colours in the those windows. Especially the left one. Nice one Micki!
I like this photo alot, Micki...especially the left window. The loose clapboard adds character as does the paint job (or lack thereof). Reflection shots are among my favorite...and they are often tough to pull off. This one works well.
Very, very interesting shot. I like the oddities here like the odd sized mismatched windows. I think that's part of what makes the shot.
nice, this really very good
Very cool, I love the textures and those contrasting reflections on the two windows in fantastic!
GREAT GREAT SHOT!!!
Micki. Love the way you have different light in the squares of glass in the window and the bluish tinge to the frames. Well done. Chris
Thats awesome micki!!! i love love love this shot....see if you were a member of shutterchance, you could have entered this day before..the theme was reflections...
lmost a ghostly reflection in the right window. Good luck with the toads :-)
Almost looks like a painting.. I like it very much
The play of texture and color here is a feast!
