The Beautiful Prairie
>> Thursday, February 2, 2012 –
barn,
challenges,
prairie,
sky
There are days when the wind howls and blows across this flat land, the endless gray skies and treeless prairie strain the eyes.
Then we have mornings like this one, which started out foggy but burned off to a sky of spun silk and golden sun.
Instead of taking the main road to work, I headed down a back road which took me past this cool shed / barn.
Both photos were taken with my iPhone4s and adjusted slightly using Photogene2.

Hi Shirley! Your second shot is wonderful but I like the first one very much too. The composition in the first one is just lovely.
Oh my...what beauty!! Great captures...
Hope you have a great day♥
I love the moving clouds above the barn - gorgeous!
Thanks for linking up with Rural Thursdays :-)
Wow, I love the sky in these amazing images.
I see from your gear that you own a 70-300mm nikkor lens. I'm thinking of buying one. What do you think of it.
Wow, great shots of the beautiful sky!
they are indeed beautiful!
Great looking barn and even better looking sky!
Wonderful shots with a lovely sky. The second shot is my favourite.
This is stunning! I can't believe you captured that with your phone and on your way to work too!
Beautiful barn & gorgeous sky! WoW! =)

Love the wispy-ness of the clouds and that barn is fantastic, Shirley.
Thank you so much for linking up and sharing at Rural Thursday. :)
Your pictures just draw me in! I know I've said it before, but this Southern California girl loves looking at that blue sky without the ever famous smog layer under it. haha. Great shots. I definitely have Instagram/iPhone envy. =(
Love these photos! The sky is incredible.
You should definitely take this route more often! These are gorgeous images. I love that old barn. I'm going to check out that app.
that barn is great and those skies.....WOW!
WOW- Stunning view!
Love the clouds almost as much as the barn- nice shots!
Awesome sky shots! Looks a lot like where i am from.
I found your site via Rural Thursday - and that first shot of blue sky took my breath away!
Great pictures from a phone.
I think I've visited you before....I remember the "chemical engineer" part! Wonderful capture of the expanse of beautiful sky and clouds...and that old barn is special. (Have you ever posted on Barn Charm?)
