Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Beautiful in black and white.
Looking glorious in monochrome! So much textured interest in this scenic view!
Love old barns. I used to paint them when we lived in Iowa...the countryside was riddled with them. Really fun to explore.
Neat shot dimple. You could go a bit darker for more contrast. Thanks for visiting. I'll be going back to visit the small cedar grove again next week when we dry out from all the rain. Thank goodness it wasn't snow this time.
Stunning! It would make a great painting too.
This is excellent. I love old barns. You did a great job with this photo.

You must visit this barn again - it seems to be loaded with interesting subjects.

That is an excellent photo. Black-and-white is certainly the right choice for it.
Looks quite cold too, I like the choice of filters on PS they are quite handy to have. Thanks for sharing looks like a very old barn.
This is excellent- beautiful capture of a quaint hidden realm-
Enjoyed this considerably – thank you for sharing…

Have a great week ahead.
The barn is amid a countryside setting, it looks an integral part of it, not some stand alone unit.
It adds beauty to the overall picture and it benefits from the beauty of the countryside background.
Lovely,lovely picture in monochrome!
This barn is so common her 'round the Ozarks. I love the black and white contrast of the picture. 'Just beautiful!!! This farm gal 'gets' barns.
God bless ya'll and have a wonderfully blessed day from the hills and hollers of the Missouri Ponderosa!!!
I love the black and white, and that you took something that could be such a common sight anywhere, saw the beauty in it, and shared what you captured! I always love your photos!
