Nature's wondrous colors create an Autumn masterpiece on a 18th Century plantation in Virginia horse country.This was a Baltimore Sun contest winner and featured photo. A special note of thanks to Sharon Gonzalez for her two beautiful interpretations of this photo, one in oil and one in watercolor. Muy fantastico! See them on her site here on Fine Art America.

Hi Don,you are right...all these pics are really wonderful and filled with scenic beauty. So this old Virginia plantation should have listed in "places-must have seen" category.....Latha..
Don Struke replied:
It's filled with history as well as a reminder of what the world was like in those days: A road on the property is noted as having been built by slaves. Their hard lives and labor are gone but the proof of that remains, under your feet.

I think this is one of the most beautiful places in this world...sooo cozy and colorful- A very nice capture Don!V/F
Don Struke replied:
Latha, thank you for your very nice comments. This IS one of the most beautiful places that I have seen, at least (although I love California's Big Sur). This old Virginia plantation gave my camera many opportunities and I have five others posted: Simpy Red Simply Gorgeous, Southern Comfort With Adirondack Style, The Autumn Tree, Autumn Vista in Virginia (I sound like a broken phonograph record), and Under The Shade of An Old Tree This Bench Awaits.

Stunning work! Really beautiful Don.You have a great eye for that perfect shot!
Don Struke replied:
Krystyna, thank you, but I think a lot of my shots depend mostly on luck and then maybe a touch of composition.
James Eddy
Beautiful country scene with a pleasing composition.
Don Struke replied:
James, having seen (and appreciated) your fine eye with a camera, I consider your remark a high compliment. Thank you!
