Low Clouds And Cattle Stalls

Giles County, Virginia

When I photographed this scene, I never saw the ghostly image of the house looking down on the cattle stalls. The first time I saw the house was when I looked at this image on my computer. This reminded me that no matter how closely you look, it is still easy to miss seeing everything that may be in the image.

Like how the low clouds are lighted up by the sunlight, and with the rays passing through to shine on the cattle sheds and the grounds around them. And yes, if you have not mentioned it in the caption, I would not have noticed the 'ghostly image of the house' and even then I can see it only when viewing the photo in original size. V

Wow, that’s pretty unique. So cool when you find something in your photo that you didn’t see when you took it. Terrific image. V

Wow - the house does require a closer examination to discern but what a strong element it adds to an already powerful composition.

Very dramatic image. Took me some time to find the Ghostly house.

Wonderful atmospheric image.
The apparition of the ghostly house is an un expected gift, even for a talented photographer who masters so well the mists and changing lights...Truly outstanding. BV.
