Anyway that's what it seemed like to me, and I thought some of the outdoor lovers here would appreciate it. Taken last November with my good 'ole workhorse Pentax K1000. 28mm lens. This stone walkway follows the stream on the right for about half a mile until it comes to where it's gushing out the side of a mountain. A bright clear late Fall afternoon. Hope you like!

This was taken the same day, right at sunset. No colors from the sunset because there were no clouds. Even though a couple of minutes later the sun was below the horizon, the rays here are still strong due to the clear air, creating some powerful shadows. You could actually see them move across the field. Note how the two cows seem unmoved by it all!

You are right, Phrank, such scenes are heaven.

I wish these were the scenes I saw through my windows, instead of all that snow.I love autumn, cause it smells so good, and there are plenty of mushrooms to get. Yes heavenly pics!

Pastures of heaven...

In the second image, my eyes are caught by the two light brown plants (?) somehow, receiving the final strays of light for that particular time and glowing superimposed on the dark shadow near to the camera, and will soon be overshadowed...
They are almost identical (save for their dimensions) and symmetric...a jolly pair... :)

Thanks all for all the comments! The first picture is the one I like the most too. The place just seemed like a dream. I posted the 2nd one because I thought the shadows across the field were interesting. Actually it got better after I took this one, but that was my last shot on the roll of film. Doruksal - You busted me! The smaller of the two brown plants is actually a copy of the first one! That's why they are almost identical (smaller/reversed). I just thought the one by itself needed some company. Michelle - I was hoping you'd catch this. Judging from your photographs I knew you would appreciate the first one. BTW, it's in the Ozark Mountains, one of America's best kept secrets
