GREAT SHOT Motts

Excellent Capture Motts!

this is amazing!

Interesting shot-nice details. I feel the same way that you do, Mr. Motts about never having to see a historical building gutted and destroyed. It's better to remember the way it was in the past. When they took my dad's old barn down, it was very sad; I didn't watch. I had a lot of fun childhood memories of that barn: kittens and puppies being born, playing with my cousins, making a "haunted house" of the barn, ect. The barn and my dad (God rest his soul) are gone now, but the memories still live on...

Beautiful shot, Mr. Motts. Marie, that's so sad. I can't imaging how heartbreaking that must have been. I would not have been able to watch either.

Motts, have you ever thought about publishing a book? I know I would purchase one!

@mammabear-Thank you for your caring comment and concern. Yes, it was sad when they took my old barn down. It was even sadder though, when I lost my dad to leukemia 4 years ago. Before he got sick, he was a very healthy, rugged man, always outdoors on his Ford tractor : ) . And, yes, I was a "daddy's" girl. I had a great childhood growing up surrounded by farm land and woods with lots of animals. I miss my dad so much, but I still feel his presence, and I still feel that he is watching over me.

the past never really dies when someone like mott preserves the images and future people can see them

Really lovely.

Tech question: Do temperature extremes have any effect on digital cameras? (lens fogging, mechanism sticking, etc.)?

Definitely Grumpy! Especially lens fog. Walking outdoors with your camera when its been kept indoors and say its cool and air conditioned and 85 or 90 outdoors ... oh yeah! Makes for a foggy shot :)

Thanx Lucie!
