Thanks, Jerry. Glad to hear you enjoyed them.
Almost daily I pass a park that has a surprising amount of foot traffic. Surprising in that at first glance it does not appear to be a place that would attract so may visitors. This set is from a recent morning walk I took through the Oliver Mills Colonial Park in Middleborough, MA. Peter Oliver, a historic figure in his own right, supervised the building of the oldest wooden courthouse in America which opened in Plymouth, MA in 1749. He later purchased an iron works in nearby Middleboro, MA. The area, originally used by Native Americans for fishing, became a complex of mills. Oliver, loyal to England, became a judge who sat on the panel that heard the case of the Boston Massacre. He was repeatedly at odds with the Sons of Liberty during the Revolutionary War. They convinced creditors to cut his financing thus causing the loss of the business that made him a man of wealth. The site was closed in 1843 and abandoned. The park sits around the remains of the industrial complex and is a vibrant local recreation area more picturesque than from the road.
Intriguing image, but I think you are selling your story short by limiting it to the 'room.' Perhaps its because of the depth of two rooms seems to be so much of the story, but I see a more environmentally inclusive concept with the outdoors B&W as well. I wonder if the relationship would be more impactful and directly encompassing 'in the white' if there was less of the non-white foreground room/floor with a slightly lower angle? Even if there is no water....you're testing the waters
Beautiful set, Vicki. I'm jealous just seeing you have them. Hopefully, their numbers are plentiful enough to bring them to my neck of the woods.
Your images show how an avian palette can easily brighten our look at the world around us. Nice captures.
My thoughts and prayers are with you to overcome your struggle. I hope you find the comfort for all of your future without fear.
Stunning set. The images in flight are superb and better on download.

Very beautiful, well done images, Charmdragon!
Thank you for your kind words, Sue. I appreciate your time to look in and enjoy them.
Excellent capture. Bet that would make a great oil painting.
Great set and downloads. Could you have found 'Bag End' the house Bilbo Baggins built in the Hobbit?
Exceptional series, Brent. Made me recall a trip to Zion when I first was introduced to the hillside lettering tradition. Did you get to see the pronghorn run? So fast! The image I went back to everytime was the fences...loved the convergence and sightline working together with the low perspective
Jim, let your feet keep walking...you are strolling in all the right places. Excellent set.
Both are beauties, Vicki. For me, the 2nd image seems to pop more, and the downloads confirmed the difference is the subtle placement. The 1st seems to lean forward a bit limiting the detail by blocking a bit of the sidelight. Shows how little things make a big difference. Great choice to try the setting/reflection.
