    Rural America

    I live in a rural area of these United States and some of the scenes that I capture are those that have been around for as long as I can remember. These scenes are not always pretty but are a real part of everyday life. Here is an image to kick off this thread. Hope you will add some images of every day life were you live.

    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    I love this idea Larry. A couple great images to start it out. I'm hoping to be able to add some photos to this thread, just been too busy so far this week.

    Great shots Larry! A bit of naustalgia is always good for the soul! Well, since there is really not much to shoot in the town where I live, and I have not been there too long, I will join in by posting some (more) shots of the town where I spend a good deal of my "photography life" which is basically just a few miles up the road.

    Driving around town on a sunny afternoon

    Thanks, but that driveway is actually the road! I had to turn around up by the farm because it was completely drifted over.

    Ah yes of course. A driveway wouldn't have that 35 Mph sign. Cool shot regardless.

    Matt,

    These are both beautiful shots! What a gorgeous view. You must have plenty of photo ops in your area. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Liz! Yes, I do live in a very scenic place. It has it's tradeoffs, but I think it's worth it.

    Great job Matt, that's a technique that I need to give a try. Love your results with it.

    Thanks. I just got this filter and I'm just figuring out what to do with it.
    Pretty fun so far!
