Sweet work Great shot
I was disappointed that I did not spend more time in Cripple Creek.I may have seen this but between trying to find some place to eat to my liking and the road leading to Canon, I ran out of time.beautiful shot
Very nice! Just my type. Nice capture.
A super shot, Tara! Lovely job on this wonderful old painted lady!
Reminder of S.F.--thanx!!
Superb image, nice colors and lighting, simply gorgeous!
Wow, what a gorgeous paint job, someone has great taste! And you have a great eye for spotting this wonderful compo...
One of the first thing I usually do when I see a window is to see if anyone is peeking out, lol. Nice shot. Aloha
Oh This is neat............. Really like the top 2 arch type windows... Pretty colors Great image Hugs Susan~
this is wonderful. bet it takes time to paint these right but it worth it
And a lovely lady she is!
Wonderful POV. I understand that Painted Ladies have to have at least 4 colors? Anyway, wish I had one. I love Victorian things, and the era, or really, anything old. ;c)
Love this style of home, and I really love the window treatments in the top windows. :))))) Sweet and excellent capture my friend. :))))) Thank you for sharing. :))))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :))))))
The colors on the dormer slats remind me of shopping for paint...all those swatches. I was looking for ramshackled houses...you found painted ladies. Your eye doesn't miss a thing:) Postworked beautifully.
I was briefly expecting a butterfly. What a superb photo, and I think I should love the house, but not the upkeep.
Beautiful lines and a superb verandah.
Fantastic capture & postwork.
a lovely piece of decor
so beautiful and like this style!!
I love sweet painted ladies...the buildings that is.
That's a really charmingly painted house, very time consuming!! Great photo.. Well posted Tara! Rob
Lovely painted building indeed. Beautiful shot, Tara.
Great capture of this wonderful architecture!!
A beautiful house and capture!
I like the Chinese fans the Lady is using to cover herself.... Clive
More than anything I love, is the balcony - so sumptuous (sounds like I am talking about a big-breasted lady?) hmmmm - not far off, actually! beautiful architectural image, new to my viewing eyes, BB
These are the kinds of painted ladies I like. The other sorts of painted ladies are okay, too, only they charge too much, or offer to charge too much, even when you're genetically immune to their wiles. I knew a couple of those who always tried to convince me of things that were patently untrue. Needless to say, I rather like the wooden, Victorian ones a lot more, though all of the interesting stories happen inside of them, rather than to them. A fair trade off, I suppose. This is a brilliant, wonderfully seen, perfectly framed and colored shot. I like it immensely.
