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.

James, having seen (and appreciated) your fine eye with a camera, I consider your remark a high compliment. Thank you!
